Use this web site to take a look at the ways we support Emergency Response and to review our planned Activities. A historical chronicle of our many and varied activities are presented through pictures in our Photo Gallery. If you wish to learn more about GBARC, contact GBARC for support or become a member please see the About Us page. We conduct a monthly net for training and information purposes. Every amateur radio operator is invited to join the WA1RJI VHF/UHF net. A listing of this net and others within Connecticut will be found on our Nets Page. Links to other web sites are found here.

In order to be fully responsive in an emergency or a disaster, we encourage GBARC members and their families to prepare themselves for surviving the initial days of an event on their own. As a minimum we recommend that they make a plan, build a kit, and get involved in community support. Even if you are not a GBARC member, it will be worth your while to take a few minutes to read about it here.
