Texas State REACT Council |

| Membership Info | |||
|
Membership in the Texas State REACT Council is limited to teams located within the state of Texas. Individuals are not members of the council. Only Teams can be members of the Council. Every REACT Team in Texas is automatically a member of the Council, even if they choose to not attend the council meetings (held 3 times a year) nor participate in any activities sponsored or endorsed by the council. However, there are some benefits for being a participating member of the council.
Since 1962, more than 44 years, REACT has been one of the leaders in public service volunteer radio operations. It has earned the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Action Award. Now you can be part of this prestigious international organization. JOIN A REACT TeamMore REACT volunteers are needed to ensure everyone gets help when needed. Every emergency call requires a monitor to succeed. It's as simple as that. For more information on how to join REACT, visit REACT Internatiional's Web Site or send e-mail to REACT International, Inc. at our headquarters in Suitland, Maryland. For Texas info, send e-mail to membership@texasreact.org. Our member teams in their local communities, work public service events and an untold number of small local emergencies ranging from single family house fires, multi-unit apartment fires, brush fires, chemical spills, train derailments, shelter operations by the Red Cross during floods, and of course our relentless monitoring of Emergency radio frequencies. Besides our use of Amateur Radio, many REACT Teams use radios called General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS). Many of our teams have access to local GMRS Repeaters, generally on the 462.675 MHz frequency, and some teams have more than one repeater on different frequencies. |
