During disasters and other serious emergency situations, a proven reliable means of communication has been emergency radio communications, notably “amateur” or “ham” radio.
Through the Provincial Emergency Radio Communications Service (PERCS) Emergency Management & Climate Readiness BC is linked with volunteer amateur radio operators who are available to assist with communications in the event of an emergency.
These licensed volunteer amateur radio operators train regularly and often take part in emergency exercises so they are prepared for any crisis situation that arises.
