Business Sponsorship
Managed Radio Emergency Services (MRES) is a community-driven program focused on improving local communication and preparedness during severe weather and emergencies. Our network of trained volunteers provides real-time, on-the-ground reports, ensuring that critical information reaches emergency coordinators and those who need it most.
​
We are reaching out to local businesses like yours to invite you to become a key partner in our mission to build a more resilient and secure community.
Equip Our Volunteers: How It Works
We welcome business sponsors to help us expand the reach and impact of our emergency communications network. By sponsoring equipment, you ensure our field volunteers remain fully connected and equipped.

Sponsoring a team of volunteers is an easy, two-part process:
​
-
Step 1 - Deploy the Hardware (Year 1): Sponsors purchase a Rapid Radios Nationwide PTT 6-Pack directly from Rapid Radios. This initial purchase instantly equips six (6) dedicated MRES volunteers with rugged, nationwide push-to-talk walkie-talkies and fully covers their first year of network service and membership with Managed Radio Services (MRS).
​
-
Step 2 - Ongoing Support (Year 2+): After the first year, sponsors are highly encouraged to stay involved by helping cover the recurring network data and management fees. Sustaining service for these six volunteers is only $600 annually ($100 per radio), payable directly to Managed Radio Services (MRS) beginning in year two.
​
Your initial participation puts vital tools in the field, playing a crucial role in public safety by keeping volunteers operational and ensuring residents stay informed during rapidly developing weather conditions and emergencies.
Partner with Purpose
By becoming an MRES sponsor, your business establishes itself as a visible leader in community safety. Your support actively contributes to keeping people informed, secure, and safe - including your own employees, neighbors, and customers.
​
This partnership offers a valuable public relations opportunity, showcasing your company's dedication to the well-being of the local community and generating invaluable goodwill. As a result, it reinforces your reputation as a responsible, proactive corporate partner.
