Emergency Coordinator's Message-

November, 2021

 

 

Welcome!

 

On this page, you will find information on EmComm (emergency communications) for amateurs, as well as training classes/ resources, operational aids, maps, etc. 

 

If you have not registered for the ARES/ ACS program in Beaver County, you may do that using the registration form on this website and email it to me at domenic.bedolatti@comcast.net .

​

Our EmComm program in Beaver County will be proactive and I’ve already received suggestions on making things easier for the operators during nets and drills.
