Amateur Radio Program
The Town of Collierville Emergency Management Committee is looking for a group of highly trained volunteer communications personnel in the Amateur Radio Program. The members of this group will use special radio frequency bands that have been assigned by the FCC for use during times of emergencies/disasters.
This program provides a pool of emergency communications personnel that can
be called to assist with auxiliary communications during local, regional, or
national,
emergency/disaster events such as severe weather, aircraft disasters,
earthquake, etc.
Members staff radios at the Emergency Operations Center and at on-scene command posts and work with hospitals, shelters, National Weather Service, TEMA and FEMA, Members also monitor the outdoor warning sirens to verify that they are working properly.
For more information on becoming a member contact Lt. David Townsend at 457-2560 or complete the form listed below.
