It is with deep regret that I announce the following.
Due to the ever changing of the times, the moving on of key EMCT members, the effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on everything, the needed repair and move of the 220 repeater and the lack of general interest of acquiring new persons to volunteer and join EMCT.
Especially the evolving and changing volunteer needs and requirements of City of Clifton.
After serious consideration of all these stated factors.
Clifton Senior OEM staff has decided to dissolve or otherwise disband (end) the Clifton Emergency Management Communications Team (EMCT).

Effective: Saturday, August 20, 2022.

  • The Current EMCT members will be transferred into the Clifton CERT team as part of it’s Communications Unit
  • The Clifton EMCT Face Book and web page (CliftonnjEMCT.org) will be taken OFF Line and discontinued.

    Last but not the least, on be haIf of Clifton OEM senior staff and myself. I just want to thank all of those past and present members for being part of this great team and for volunteering all their precious free time and resources all these past 40 years plus. It’s been a great run!
