The ECRT is the public service aspect of the Federal Way Amateur Radio Club. The ECRT was organized at the request of the City of Federal Way to provide backup radio communications and support to the city and civic agencies in the times of emergency or disaster. Some of the ECRT members also support other non-emergent public service functions such as some of the area fun runs and many of the Seafair events in the Puget Sound area.
