Declare April 30, 2026 as Richmond Emergency Communications Volunteer Day
In Plain English
Richmond's EmComm program relies on volunteers who operate emergency radio communications during disasters, when phone and internet networks may fail. The city recently installed a new emergency antenna at City Hall to support this network. This proclamation formally thanks the volunteers and marks the antenna installation, but does not involve any spending or policy change.
