Radio Emergency Associated Communications Teams
Welcome to the REACT page.
REACT is a public service organization comprised of private radio
operators serving travelers and their communities alike with radio
communications. Member volunteers are dedicating to improving
their communities by providing voluntary, two-way communications.
Purposes include:��
- the correct usage of CB Emergency
Channel 9.��
- Developing the skilled use of the CB
Radio Service, GMRS (UHF), Amateur with packet, BBS, Cellular and other
radio services as additional sources of communications in
emergencies.��
- Coordinating efforts with other emergency
organizations including Police, FEMA, NOAA, RACES, ARES, NOVAD, the
Salvation Army and the American Red Cross.��
- Providing
public service communications for travelers and their local
communities.��
- Using their radios in the interest of
public safety.� Many teams monitor Citizens Band [CB] Radio Emergency Channel
9.� Many also use radios called
General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) and have access to local GMRS Repeaters,
generally on the 462.675 MHz frequency. Some teams have more than one repeater,
or may be on different frequencies.��
Today's REACT
Teams provide Safety Radio assistance for community events such as:
- parades,�
- runs,�
- walk-a-thons,�
- bike tours,�
- boat races and even
- hot air balloon festivals.��
REACT
Teams host "Safety Wake Breaks" on holiday week-ends along the
highways.�
Because of our efforts, REACT is a
recipient of the President's Volunteer Action Award.��Our member teams
work to "assist in and improve" their local communities, work an untold number of small local emergencies ranging from single family
house fires, multi-unit apartment fires, brush fires, chemical spills,
train derailments, to assisting during shelter operations by the Red Cross,
Salvation Army or other agencies during floods, and of course our relentless
monitoring of Emergency CB Channel 9.�
