The Fremont Communications Volunteers is a team of unpaid,
communications professionals dedicated to serving the City of Fremont,
California with public safety and emergency communications in times of disaster
or community need. We are organized under the authority of the
Fremont Fire Department Communications Division and, in times of disaster, operate within the
scope of the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) as provided for by
the FCC and FEMA. As an
ARES
affiliate, we also provide communications for civic functions.
When activated by the City's
Emergency Operations Center (EOC), members may be assigned to carry out one or
more of the following:
|
Staff communications posts at the
City of Fremont's EOC or one of several public safety or government agency
Field Command Centers (FOC) located throughout the city. |
|
|
Report as directed, to various
posts such as schools, shelters, and hospitals; or to field teams involved in
the City's emergency response and disaster recovery efforts. |
|
|
Shadow government officials to
provide backup communications. |
|
|
Provide communications support to the Red Cross. |
