Thanks Jorene, couldn't have stated it better myself.
It isn't unusual for a volunteer organization to be active in one area, but fairly non-existent in another. Much depends on the leadership and activity of the local group, local needs, and how local authorities view and utilize volunteers. For example, CERT viability can vary greatly as a deployable resource (or not) from one operational area to another. Ditto for ARES, which is very active in some operational areas and rather inactive in others. In some areas REACT may be more active assisting at public events, not really on the radar of local authorities as a resource. In another area they may be considered a viable asset for site-specific communications, included on the Emergency Operations Plan radio communications resource list.

A web site does not an organization make; nor does it make it viable. Results do that, REACT has none.

Before you go and say something is "defunct" you need to do your homework first. See www.reactintl.org.
