The Texas Emergency Medical Task Force (TX EMTF) is a coordinated system established in 2009 to provide rapid and scalable medical disaster response across Texas. Developed through partnerships between Regional Advisory Councils, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and local EMS and hospital stakeholders, TX EMTF ensures effective collaboration and resource deployment during emergencies. The program is designed to minimize suffering and save lives by leveraging expertise and resources from EMS providers, fire departments, hospitals, and healthcare organizations statewide.
