Radio

If you have a FRS/GMRS radio, it is suggested that you use channel 2 (with privacy codes off) to communicate with other islanders. Be aware that GMRS (and more so, FRS) have a very limited range of ~1-4 miles (outdoors, with a clear line of sight to the recieving station) or much less depending on many factors.

After a disaster, licensed amateur radio operators can communicate with the local active ARES group (organized as part of the VMIRC) or Vashon EOC over these frequencies:

• W7VMI repeater - 443.5 MHz (+5 MHz, 103.5 Hz tone)
• ARES Simplex - 147.52 MHz
• ARES Backup Simplex - 146.50 MHz
