Welcome to the Minnesota Emergency Communications Team Website

The purpose of the Minnesota Emergency Communications Team is to assist the community during natural disasters, missing persons crises, and other events in which radio communications are necessary. In doing so we are performing a service to the community in times of crises.

Immediate, effective and reliable radio communications is the greatest need when trying to work together to solve emergency crises -- whether it be a bridge collapse or another emergency such as the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., earthquake, flooding, or other crises.

Minnesota Emergency Communications Team's Mission Statement:

To provide a public service during disasters, emergencies, search and rescue and public events utilizing radio communications equipment and volunteer teams of licensed ham radio operators and emergency response units.

By maintaining the radio community we are guaranteeing ourselves a way to communicate in times of crises, whether local or nationwide. 

To those who have already filled many of these roles, i.e., police, fire, medics, doctors, nurses, and our armed forces, our thanks and gratitude goes out to you, and we look forward to being able to work in partnership with you.
