"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 providing rapid response teams consisting of commercial communications technicians with radio communications systems, into disaster areas. NACEC's professional communications technicians, with the help of NACEC volunteers, install, maintain and service the emergency communications systems our organization provides.

NACEC's communications support can drastically increase the operating efficiency of those organizations that are actively involved in supporting the immediate needs of the disaster victims, by allowing these agencies and organizations to much more quickly and efficiently coordinate and conduct their relief activities.

In fact, communications is so important when responding to large-scale disasters the United Nations puts it 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."
