When a large disaster strikes it almost always causes massive infrastructure damage within the effected area.
This can drastically slow response efforts. We are working to develop services that will help solve some of the
problems caused by the communications segment of a damaged or overloaded infrastructure.
The United Nations puts the need for emergency communications like this:
"When disaster strikes, the immediate needs are obvious: food, water, shelter, and medical supplies.
But none of these necessities will reach survivors without the largely invisible communication networks
that must be set up quickly to enable relief workers to save lives."
Our Mission:
"To reduce the loss of life, suffering, injury and stress following large scale
disasters by providing the emergency communications needed to coordinate, conduct and safely operate
relief activities."
We accomplish our mission by supporting those organizations and agencies, that respond to large-scale
disasters, whose purpose is also to save lives, and reduce the suffering and stress of the disaster victims.

NACEC is working to develop rapid response teams consisting of skilled communications professionals
and commercial communications systems that can quickly be moved into disaster areas to quickly make
emergency logistical 2-way radio communications available to response agencies and organizations. In
the future we hope to be able to also provide high-speed data and telephone communications as well. We
are working to make high volume commercial telecommunications systems and staff available for long
durations, months if necessary.
We believe the faster communications can be made available following a large disaster, the faster critical
aid can be coordinated and start flowing to those families and individuals that so desperately need it.

NACEC was started in 1992 after we completed the successful Desert Voices Project which connected U.S. Forces serving in front line positions in the first gulf war, with their family and friends back home without charge via a specially designed long range radio complex.
