Red Cross on MPSCS?

A long time ago, I thought I saw a talkgroup listing for the American Red Cross on MPSCS. I can no longer find it. Does Red Cross still have the radios, or are they using Nextel now?

They still have MPSCS radios, but I think they use Event and EOC talk groups when needed.

Ok now my next question is. How do I find out where the districts are? Should I go to www.americanredcross.com ?

You're welcome. They were posted here on RR's database, under Livingston County, but are probably used elsewhere too.

Those talkgroups are not used elsewhere, they are Livingston Co only.

well, what about the rest of Michigan? I have seen a MPSCS radio in the disaster services vehicle last year. I guess ill have to ask a fellow ham about the use of MPSCS.
