- The Riverside Emergency Communication Group is affiliated with the City of Riverside's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program and other emergency service partners within Southern California.
- We hold this weekly net to practice emergency communications and promote cooperation among radio communications groups, CERT teams and individuals. The goal is to insure preparedness for a local or regional event or incident.
- On this net we share tips, suggestions and best practices related to communications, personal and family preparedness, equipment and skills that are relevant to the EMCOMM Operator.
- Net information:
