Point of contact
We are “professional” communication volunteers able to solve your emergency communication needs, especially those involving liaison and coordination. We are well trained (classroom and field experience), and motivated to fit into your organization. We come replete with our own equipment and the use of numerous frequencies on the amateur radio band for emergency communications. We can also operate your equipment if the emergency so demands. Our people may be requested as a team or individually, some immediately. Our key leadership have completed classroom ICS courses up through NIMS-400.
If you require immediate assistance, please call me at 508.259.9213 (anytime). For routine assistance, please call 508.994.1875 (evenings), 508.346.2929 (days) or email me at kd1cy@ema.arrl.org
