The City of Eugene has in place a volunteer grass-roots emergency communications system that is designed to provide help at the neighborhood level in case of a natural disaster such as an ice storm, wildfire, or earthquake. In many of these emergencies, cellphones and landline phones may not be functional.
Eugene EmComm is a group of ham radio volunteers who provide part of the emergency communications network, but you don’t need to be a ham to be part of the network. If you have a “walkie-talkie” (also known as FRS) radio, or if you are willing to check on your neighbors and report to a radio operator, you can be of service. Fill out and submit the form below for more information, or to volunteer.
The contact person for Holly Avenue neighbors is Mike McCornack.
