Central Oklahoma REACT Team 6023 Details
Central Oklahoma REACT was originally Edmond REACT. Our primary purpose is to provide volunteer support to organizations using radio communications. We serve many areas in Central Oklahoma. Please contact us if you need volunteers to help out with communications at your events. We also do storm spotting, emergency management functions, traffic control, radio communications, security/perimeter control, and much more! All team members receive ongoing training in the areas of communications, severe weather observation, traffic/crowd control, first aid, and emergency management. This training is regularly exercised in the form of participation in community events, along with emergency and disaster response when called. Radio Emergency Associated Communications Teams are volunteers who are organized internationally and use Citizens Band (CB) radios to provide public service communications for travelers and their local communities. REACT Teams use their radios to monitor Citizens Band Radio Emergency Channel 9 in the interest of safety. REACT Teams also provide communications in response to emergencies and for community events. Our member teams in their local communities, work public service events and an untold number of small local emergencies ranging from single family house fires, multi-unit apartment fires, brush fires, chemical spills, and train derailments, to assisting during shelter operations by the Red Cross, Salvation Army or other agencies during floods, and of course our relentless monitoring of Emergency CB Channel 9. Besides our use of CB-9 and Amateur Radio, many REACT Teams also use radios called General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) and have access to local repeaters.
