Our Capabilities

N.C.R. REACT delivers vital emergency communications services throughout the Washington, D.C. Metro area and the neighboring states of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Our experienced team utilizes proven communications strategies tailored to meet the diverse needs of the communities we serve. We utilize a network of GMRS repeaters that provide broad coverage across the metro D.C. region, ensuring dependable connectivity during emergencies without relying on commercial infrastructure. Our deployable assets include a fully equipped communications command vehicle and multiple mobile repeaters, ready to be activated anywhere, anytime, to support crisis response and coordination. Beyond infrastructure, N.C.R. REACT is built on a foundation of operational readiness and community trust. Our volunteers undergo rigorous training in emergency protocols, radio operations, and field deployment, ensuring that every activation is swift, coordinated, and effective. Whether supporting public safety agencies, assisting during natural disasters, or reinforcing communications at large-scale events, we stand ready to serve. We maintain strong relationships with local jurisdictions, emergency managers, and volunteer organizations to ensure interoperability and seamless integration during multi-agency responses. We are committed to protecting lives, preserving communications, and empowering communities when they need it most.


Professional Radio

Our team members have the option to purchase professional radios at special pricing. While not required, we recommend a specific radio that works on both GMRS and our own secure Push To Talk over Cellular (PTToC) network. Any radios that operate on our world wide PTToC network and are GPS enabled, dispatch location tracking is possible.
