Radio Communications – CERT Drill 2014
FRS Radios – inexpensive battery operated walkie-talkies – are the perfect tool for disasters. We’ll be practicing on Sunday 8/6 and Sunday 8/13 from Noon – 4:00 PM.
We’re on Channel 13 if you want to test your radio – just call in. If you need help learning how to use the radio, come by 909 Oneonta Drive (near Olancha and 5 Points) for hands-on guidance either Sunday afternoon.
Don’t have a radio? We have some available for a suggested donation of $20 for one or $35 for a pair. A little more than Home Depot, but will Home Depot teach you how to use it?
