Effective emergency management means knowing the contacts that are important to you and your organization when disaster response and recovery takes place. The RETC has been established to foster the exchange of information and the discussion of telecommunications issues among federal agencies, provincial government (including Ministries and communities) and the telecommunications industry. Objectives include emergency mitigation as well as ensuring the availability and operational readiness of telecommunications services during regional or national emergencies.
The RETC is an Industry Canada initiative in the Atlantic Provinces. If you or your organization would like to participate in the RETC or would like more information, please contact the Regional Emergency Telecom Officer.
