If you are interested in participating in ACS, or finding out more about the vital link that amateur radio provides in an emergency, please contact Bill Dickerson, WA2JOC, the ACS coordinator for Montour County.

Montour County EMA sponsors a two meter repeater for ACS on 145.290.  It is an open repeater and we encourage any amateur radio operator to use it for normal amateur activities except during an actual emergency.


In addition to a valid Amateur Radio License, ACS participants shall have successfully completed the following NIMS courses:
IS-100
IS-700
These courses can be taken on line. More information about NIMS training can be found at:

FEMA Independent Study Courses
