Welcome to South West Hampshire RAYNET, using best endeavours to make local communities resilient by providing additional voluntary communications in times of need to the emergency services, principal local authorities and others. In addition to which, we provide communication for local events across the area.
Working closely with Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response Officers within Hampshire and Southampton City, to form an integral part of their plans, our team members are mainly licensed radio operators located across SW Hants.
