Emergency

EmComm (Emergency Communications) Support

Amateur (HAM) Radio is often used for emergency communications as a means of second line of communications when disasters disrupt normal communication facilities. Amateur radio operators are often called-in to support immediate communication needs, coordinating with various agencies working for disaster management.

The members of National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR) have been actively involved in establishing two-way communications supporting various government and non-government organisations when an incident of natural / man-made disaster occurs.
