CoRECT (City of Rosemead Emergency Communication Team)
Established in 2010 by the City of Rosemead and local volunteer HAM radio Operators, CoRECT assists with emergency communiations. It is generally believed that regular communication systems will be imparired during disasters. CoRECT was created to provide the City of Rosemead alternative emergency communications and a vital link to the region in the event that other systems fail.
