Our volunteers set up and run radio communications for Search and Rescue operations, Civil Defence emergencies, and Community events.
If there are issues getting connected, our volunteers know how to fix it, to keep communications moving.
We also ensure local radio infrastructure is maintained, and emergency equipment is ready for action.
AREC work alongside
Search and Rescue
Communication is key to the success of any Search and Rescue Operation.
Field Teams need to be connected to the Incident Management Team to be effective and to enable efficient command and control.
Whatever the terrain, wherever the location AREC is on the scene setting up and running emergency communications.
We support the SAR Coordinating Authorities, New Zealand Police, and the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand, along with Land Search and Rescue, Coastguard, and Surf Life Saving.
Civil Defence
When a Civil Defence Emergency strikes, it’s essential that the Emergency Operations and Coordination Centre Management Teams can stay connected to support the community.
We support the National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), Civil Defence Emergency Management Regional Groups, local councils, and welfare centers by providing communications when needed.
Community Events
Well planned Communications helps to ensure Community events go smoothly.
From car rallies to marathons, Santa parades to triathlons, AREC has a proud history of supporting local events across New Zealand.
We provide help with health and safety planning, and coordination on the day of the event. As well as supplying communications equipment, our team of volunteers will set up the right communications to help your event run smoothly.
The safety of event participants, organisers, spectators, and the general public is essential for any event, and steps must be taken to reduce the risks to all involved.
