Lockwood Neighborhood Radio Watch is a group of residents in the Shake Ridge Road corridor that communicate with each other via a system of repeaters that facilitate communications over GMRS radio broadcast.
Members obtain a GMRS license through the FCC and purchase radios pre-programmed by our volunteers to the frequencies we communicate on. We provide training and resources for members to effectively communicate with each other during emergencies. In the event of a major disaster, Amador OES may contact our group to facilite disemmination of pertinent information to the area via our network.
We are an all-volunteer organization fiscally sponsored 501(c)3 through Amador Community Foundation.
We rely solely on donations and grants for funding.
We are sanctioned by Amador County OES, Amador Fire Safe Council, Lockwood Fire Protection District and Amador District 5 Supervisor Brian Oneto.
Lockwood Neighborhood Radio Watch is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Lockwood Neighborhood Radio Watch
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Lockwood Neighborhood Radio Watch has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Lockwood Neighborhood Radio Watch regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
