Beyond Ham Radio: Getting the Information to Residents
A visual presentation by LWC CRS member Michael Tomlinson detailing the communication system that allows us to gather and disseminate information internally and externally during an emergency situation.
Buy and Practice Using a Two-Way Radio
The Safety Committee recommends that each household buy a two-way radio that will allow you to communicate with the LWC CRS. Practice using it by responding to the monthly radio poll of Safety Captains, Board members, Staff and residents the first Saturday of each month at 9 AM, on Channel 15. Your Safety Captain can answer questions about buying and using a radio, or text (610-701-9239).
