Comm Facilities

SLOECC maintains a fully equipped ARES/RACES radio communications center at the county Emergency Operations Center on Kansas Avenue off Highway 1, adjacent to the Sheriff's Office. In addition, local ARES/RACES Emergency Communication Centers (ECC) are located in San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, Cambria, Los Osos, Oceano, Paso Robles and at Cal Poly. Remote mountaintop repeater stations are maintained to allow VHF and UHF contact across the wide terrain of SLO County.

Should regular telephone systems fail or become overloaded in an emergency, SLOECC also has radio links with nearby counties and with the State Office of Emergency Services.
