Thank you for your interest in our program.  

On behalf of F-R-S network volunteers throughout the United States, welcome to our "on-line" Information Center.  

This site promotes two goals:

1. To support neighborhood CERT volunteers.  Your neighbors may be using F-R-S radio while training as part of a Community Emergency Response Teams Program.  They are establishing  local neighborhood communications networks in the event services and/or communications are disrupted in a local disaster or emergency.  
      
2. To establish F-R-S #1 as a National Call Channel.  Use Channel 1 to make initial contact, and then immediately move to another channel for your communication.  This keeps the channel FREE for others to make their calls, and keep it available in case someone calls for help.  

About The CERT Program  
In the event of a local disaster or emergency, telephone communications and government resources may not be available.  Many governmental agencies, frequently in cooperation and under the guidance of the local fire department, have programs to train volunteers in basic emergency response/communications.  

Many of these same local volunteers use F-R-S for local training sessions in preparation for "IF" their skills and experience are needed in the future.  
   
Our goal in creating this site is to provide you with all the information you need to establish, record, sustain and promote your local Neighborhood Communications Network.  Updates will be continually published based on requests for additional information and ideas that may assist you in your efforts. 
 

This site cooperates with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in their efforts.  Won't you take a quick moment and look at their site?  

Information viewed can be reproduced immediately simply by using your computer and printer.  Whenever possible, photos and contact information is also provided.  It only takes a moment to look.  Won't you help?
