What is it?

EmComm, short for emergency communications, is a program where Amateur Radio operators can assist through maintaining communications before, during and after emergencies and disasters.

Is GTARC Helping?

As Amateur Radio operators, we have an opportunity to help our community in times of needs/emergencies. This includes times where the only means of communication could be battery or generator powered radios .  GTARC is developing an EmComm program to restore and improve communications within Temecula Valley and its surrounding areas. We aim to structure a system so that in the time of an emergency trained club members would be able to efficiently assist to move vital information, and to provide radio communication support as requested.
