Minnesota Emergency Communications Team Welcomes Volunteers and New Chapters -- Have You Got What it Takes?

What We Do:

The Minnesota Emergency Communications Team provides public service radio communications support when called upon by emergency management agencies such as the Red Cross, Police or Fire Departments. 

If you are an amateur or ham radio operator and you are interested in connecting with other people who are ham radio operators and want to do more  to assist in the community, why not network with Minnesota Emergency Communications Team.  You would head up the team in your geographical area and do the recruiting for your team.  Join us today by completing and submitting the attached PDF form.

Operations may include weather-related disasters such as tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, or other catastrophes like the August 1, 2007 Interstate 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis, MN.

Additionally, we may provide public service radio communications support during parades, marathons or other public events.

What You Will Do as a Team Leader:

As a team leader you will be the liaison between your local law enforcement agencies in your area, and the Minnesota Emergency Communications Team.  Additionally, Team Members are responsible for recruitment in their communities and ensuring that your Team's members attend meetings, trainings and tactical ops as required.
