In a disaster, traditional communications is one of the first services to be lost. The Los Angeles Emergency Communications Group supports several amateur radio groups that support various services in the Los Angeles area. Included are the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) that provides emergency communications for the 65+ hospitals with emergency departments, the LAFD Auxiliary Communications Service (LAFD ACS) that supports the City of Los Angeles, specifically the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the Los Angeles County Disaster Communications Service (DCS) that supports the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. All these groups get little or no funding from their served agencies and rely mostly on member's equipment and donations.
