Community Continuity Depends on Communication Continuity

The Morris Community Emergency Radio Network (MCERN) is a community communication initiative designed to help communities stay connected and informed when traditional communication systems become unavailable.

Modern communities depend on cellular networks, internet services, texting, email, and social media for daily communication. During major disruptions, these systems can become overloaded or unavailable precisely when communication matters most.

MCERN provides an independent local communication capability designed to support communication continuity, community awareness, and local coordination during outages, disasters, and other disruptions.

Stay Connected

Families, neighbors, and community members rely on communication every day. Maintaining communication helps communities remain connected during disruptions.

Stay Informed

Communication supports updates, local awareness, and coordination. Access to reliable information becomes increasingly important during emergencies.

Building Community Resilience

The goal of MCERN is simple: strengthen communication continuity so communities can remain connected and informed when traditional communication systems become unavailable.
