TCARC has recently established an emergency radio room in the EOC. The emergency radio equipment allows TCARC to communicate with neighboring counties and Florida Emergency Management in Tallahassee. TCARC meets weekly on a radio net and monthly in person at the EOC. TCARC has also participated in a statewide emergency exercise, local community events and a national field day with great results.

Big Bend GMRS supports the Family and General Mobile Radio Service in the “Big Bend” area of Florida. We provide GMRS information and events and assist with GMRS-Repeater support and coordination. All Big Bend GMRS-Repeaters are available for everyday use by GMRS-licensees.
Many counties use or support GMRS-Repeaters. They enhance emergency teams and training programs, increase public safety and awareness, and provide a valuable resource that benefits communities, organizations, and recreational activities. GMRS-Repeaters can also provide wide-area essential communications during disasters or in times of need. Thanks for supporting GMRS in your Community!
