We are a volunteer emergency communication team.

We provide communications for families and law enforcement agencies via radio and satellites during natural and major disasters throughout the Los Angeles County Area.

We also maintain a business band frequency that can also be used during day to day emergencies such as traffic accidents requiring medical assistance.

We are looking for individuals who enjoy communicating on a two-way radio and helping the community at the same time.
