Keeping Our Community Connected
When traditional systems fail during wildfires, storms, or earthquakes, our volunteer radio network maintains vital communication links.
For emergencies, always call 911 first. If phone lines are down, learn how to get help.
Welcome
When extreme events - wildfires, storms, earthquakes, and more - strike our communities, staying connected can save lives. Ebbetts' Radio Safety Net (ERSN) is Highway-4's volunteer-powered emergency communications network, using GMRS radios to keep our community linked when traditional systems fail.
