Weekly Yellow Radio Net
Don’t forget to check-in to the Thursday EVCNB Yellow Radio Net at 6:00 on channel 119.
Join the weekly practice where Yellow Radio owners hone their communication skills. Each practice has a brief Educational Moment covering a vast array of preparedness tips, accessories, strategies to keep your radio charged when the power is out and radio techniques.
Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones and the internet will be unavailable.
