📡 AMERICAN REGULATORS USA PARTICIPATES IN BLACK SWAN COMMUNICATIONS EXERCISE

American Regulators USA is proud to announce that Rick, our Emergency Communications Coordinator, is participating in the BLACK SWAN Communications Exercise alongside local, state, and federal communications resources.

BLACK SWAN is an annual multi-service exercise that evaluates how communities and responding agencies maintain communications when normal infrastructure is damaged or unavailable. Participants operate through an extended scenario requiring auxiliary communication systems to augment or replace traditional methods.

Rick holds an Amateur Radio Extra Class license, the highest class of amateur radio license issued by the FCC. Every member of American Regulators USA holds at least one FCC-issued radio license, strengthening our organization’s ability to communicate reliably during disasters and other complex emergencies.

Rick, we thank you for all you do to strengthen our team and support the communities we serve.

When traditional systems fail, dependable communication becomes a lifeline.
