The Shoreline Auxiliary Communications Service team was formed in 1995 to support Fire District 4 and the Shoreline Fire Department. We have since grown in size and in responsibilities: We now support the City of Shoreline's Emergency Operations Center and the Shoreline Police Department, in addition to the Fire Department. Our team, consisting of about 35 volunteer amateur radio operators, trains to provide emergency communications in the event of disasters, since normal communication methods can quickly become overloaded during such an event, if they survive at all.
Our purpose is to augment or replace those avenues, as needed, until normal communications can be restored. ACS team members are able to work independently to provide damage assessment, health and welfare reports or support relief agencies both within and outside of the disaster area. The team also provides communications support for public service events such as road races, parades and local fairs.
Visitors are always welcome at our monthly meeting, which takes place from 1000 - 1200 on the second Saturday of each month at the Shoreline Fire Department Headquarters Station, 17525 Aurora Ave N. (To avoid conflict with the Mike & Key Puyallup swap meet, our March meeting is usually on the third Saturday.)
