WELCOME!
Welcome to the International Repeater Group!
The IRG Network of repeaters can be linked all at once so that province wide communications are available during emergencies. Two times per week all repeaters are linked and the network is tested with Amatuer Radio Nets. Radio operators call in from all over the province via any of the 23 repeaters in the network. Any two repeaters can be linked together as well to acheive communications within the repeater's range in the province. The network can also be connected to the Provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The main objective of the IRG network is to provide emergency back up communications to NB EMO, CANWARN, Municipal EMO's, First Responders, Ground Search and Rescue teams, and hopefully in the near future, Amber Alert.
A special thanks to New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization who makes the IRG network possible. Please visit EMO's website HERE
GETTING THE MESSAGE THROUGH IN EMERGENCIES AMATEUR RADIO AND EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS In our ever changing world it seems more and more the threat of major emergencies and natural disasters are apparent. In light of these occurances the need for emergency preparedness is real. Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere without warning. Often, existing means of communications, such as telephone both landline and cellular, become useless and unreliable due to system overload during an emergency or, they simply do not exist. Our communications we depend on each day can go down in an instant in the event of a natural disaster or act of terrorism. We are Amateur Radio Operators and have extensive knowledge of radio systems and antennas. In the event of emergencies we are able to establish communications via our amateur repeaters, if they have not suffered from the event, or via direct radio contact using high power, high frequency radios. Many amateurs have emergency radios and antennas ready to deploy when needed. | NEW ITEMS ADDED FEB 22 2010 Members supporting IRG from the following Province / State Flags. THANK YOU!
