BVS Resident Radio Program Emergency Test - February 7, 2026 
BVS RESIDENT RADIO PROGRAM EMERGENCY TEST - FEBRUARY 7, 2026, 12:00 NOON
The Bear Valley Springs Emergency Radio Team (BVSERT) will conduct a test of the Resident Radio Program (RRP) on Saturday, February 7, at 12:00 noon.
During the test, resident radios will be activated, and a test message will be broadcast. Please ensure your radio is:
• Fully charged
• Turned on
• Set to Channel 1
• Volume adjusted to an audible level
• Positioned near, or in, a window
The Resident Radio Program is an official part of the BVS Emergency Response System. BVSERT has partnered with the Bear Valley Police Department to provide residents with radios that can be activated during a disaster by either the BVSPD Police Chief or their representatives.
When traditional communication channels fail, as they frequently do during major disasters like wildfires, amateur radio operators can step in to coordinate rescue efforts and provide critical updates to the community.
Residents interested in joining the Resident Radio Program can visit AC6EE.org, select “BVS Emergency Radio Team,” and complete the RRP enrollment form.
Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more resilient community.
