Emergency communications (EmComm) covers all technical means and modes for public safety agencies at all levels of government.

Amateur Radio operators also assist with maintaining operability and interoperable communications. This can be before, during, and after declared emergencies, disasters, or planned Special Security Events.

Amateur Radio operators (hams) have informal and formal groups to coordinate communication during emergencies. At the local level, hams may participate in local emergency organizations. Some will organize local “traffic nets” using VHF (very high frequencies) and UHF (ultra high frequencies). At the state level, hams are often involved with state emergency management operations. In addition, hams operate at the national level through the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), which is coordinated through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and through the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), which is coordinated through the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and its field volunteers. Many hams are also involved in SkyWarn, operating under the National Weather Service and provide emergency weather information to the NWS for analysis and dissemination to the public. This is often provided by those using EMCOMM antennas, radios, and power that is off the grid.
