NACEC COMES BACK ON-LINE
NACEC was launched in 1992 to provide emergency communications in support of NGO's serving those in the disaster area. For the last several years this organization has been dormant, mainly do to a lack of funding. On January 25th 2010, after the earthquake in Haiti created a very large need for the type of communications support we are experienced in providing, our board of directors made the decision to restart NACEC. We are now working as quickly as possible to re-acquire the equipment and staff needed to ready the organization to launch a support mission into Haiti and to be ready to launch future responses on very short notice, whether they are here in the U.S. or on the other side of the planet.

We can serve many NGOs simultaneously Basically it is the mission of this organization to provide emergency commercial 2-way radio communications within large scale disaster areas in support of those organizations that respond to assist the victims. This emergency communications allow the organizations to better coordinate their relief activities and drastically increase their ability to more rapidly respond to the needs of the victims. As depicted in the image to the left, we can provide communications support to a large number of NGOs within a disaster area simultaneously. More detailed information on our mission and services can be found in the "Our Mission" section of this website.

We are currently attempting to communicate with as many NGOs working within Haiti as possible to get a more accurate assessment of which organizations need our services, how much and what type of equipment we will need to provide.

We are now looking for funding and are hoping to be ready to send a team out in about 30 days.
