Welcome to REMCOM

In the Richmond-Rosenberg area, effective emergency communication is crucial for ensuring personal safety and coordinating disaster response efforts. Our community leverages a variety of communication methods to stay connected during emergencies, including Ham radio, FRS radio, GMRS radio, and LoRa Meshtastic radios.

Ham Radio

Ham radio, also known as amateur radio, is a reliable communication method used by licensed operators to transmit messages over long distances. It plays a vital role in emergency situations, providing a robust and flexible communication network when traditional systems fail.

FRS Radio

Family Radio Service (FRS) radios are user-friendly, short-range communication devices that do not require a license. They are ideal for local, on-the-ground communication among family members and small groups during emergencies.

GMRS Radio

General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios offer greater range and power compared to FRS radios. While they require a license, GMRS radios are excellent for coordinating larger groups and covering more extensive areas, making them invaluable in emergency scenarios.

LoRa Meshtastic Radios

LoRa Meshtastic radios utilize long-range, low-power communication technology to create a mesh network. This innovative system allows users to send messages over vast distances without relying on cellular networks or the internet. Meshtastic radios are particularly useful in remote areas or during widespread network outages.

By integrating these diverse communication methods, the Richmond-Rosenberg community is better prepared to handle emergencies and ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. Whether it’s coordinating rescue efforts, sharing critical information, or simply staying connected, our emergency communication network is designed to be resilient and effective.
