1. RAC Auxiliary Communicator Course
Radio Amateurs of Canada, in partnership with the City of Sudbury,
is excited to introduce a new Auxiliary Communications (Aux-Comm)
Training Program, designed to enhance our communication
capabilities during emergencies.
As a Non-Governmental Organization, Radio Amateurs of Canada
understands the importance of effective coordination and
communication during crises. The training is based on the
All-Hazards Risk Assessment methodology, ensuring we can
effectively mitigate communication failures and collaborate
with other organizations during a disaster.
The course is designed for experienced Amateur Radio volunteers
who provide communication support during planned events and
incidents, as well as communication personnel from Non-Governmental
rganizations and government Emergency Management services.
The goal of this 20-hour course is to provide instruction to Auxiliary
Communications volunteers so that their individual and organizational
efforts/expertise are appropriately integrated into the public
safety/service communications support environment.
Auxiliary Communicators provide alternate communications by supporting
communications with other organizations:
