CECA members during Simulated Emergency Training Exercise

The Coast Emergency Communications Association (CECA) is looking for men and women who want to make a difference.  If you would like to assist your community, provide yourself with some different challenges, and are ready to learn new skills, this organization could be what your are looking for.

While there are many advanced and newer technologies in communications, such as cellular phones, texting, amateur radio is recognized by the British Columbia and local governments as very relevant because simple two-way radio communications can endure earthquakes, fires and other disasters when all other forms of communications fail. Amateur radio operators can provide vital communications especially during and after emergencies and are an important link for government and other agencies until normal communications are re-established.
