Radio Operators Needed for Search

On Monday, June 3rd, MNVOAD will deploy in Red Lake to support a search operation for the “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office”.

⚠️ This is a live event, not training. ⚠️

MNVOAD need 8, or more, well trained and experienced ARES operators from the Northwest Minnesota District (Fargo and Grand Forks included) to assist with communications, personnel coordination, and general relaying of traffic.

Due to the nature of this incident, there is the extremely unlikely possibility that some unsettling events could occur. Volunteers should be prepared for this possibility.

MNVOAD are requesting a minimum of one week to have time to relay the information onto the officials coordinating the event on the reservation.

If you are available to assist please contact as soon as possible; ideally Noon on Friday, March 24th.

There will be a mandatory hour and a half long online training session during the week before this incident. A link to the training will be provided to those who are able to assist.
