WELCOME

Welcome to the Boulder City Emergency Radio Group (BCERG) web page. The Boulder City Emergency Radio Group is a group of amateur radio operators who voluntarily provide communications services to Boulder City and Clark County during emergencies and time of need. BCREG would not be in charge of any emergency event. We are members of the community that want to help Boulder City's emergency communications needs. We simply help when asked by local authorities. We also assist citizens of Boulder City for any communications, concerning heath and welfare status during an event, so public safety can focus on critical needs. To facilitate doing that efficiently we also participate in local events and public service projects which provide training and communications experience for our members. We also partner with other radio groups that are: very active, share our enthusiasm of the art of radio, and improving our technical skills by using the latest technology.
 

About Boulder City, NV

Boulder City is known as a clean, green oasis in the desert. Located approximately 20 miles from the glitter and excitement of Las Vegas and just a few miles from the grandeur of Hoover Dam, Boulder City offers a quiet, relaxed living environment. With a population of slightly more than 15,000 people, Boulder City residents enjoy a quaint, small town atmosphere, historic charm and an excellent quality of life with a low crime rate and high quality police and fire services.

Boulder City built Hoover Dam

Boulder City was initially created to house the workers who built Hoover Dam, and as such, was a significant and integral part of the successful completion of the Boulder Canyon Project. Constructed in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression, Boulder City was conceived by the Federal Government as an ideal town, a "model" city to which the American people could look for hope of a better future. Today, as the city with the largest geographical area in Nevada and the only city in Nevada with no gaming, Boulder City continues to provide the extraordinary service, unyielding commitment and inviting, family-oriented atmosphere that its founders, fondly referred to today as the 31ers, envisioned over 70 years ago.
