Most members are also affiliated with their respective national organisations; for example, the International Red Cross, the Magen David Adom, the Salvation Army, RAYNET, local ARES and RACES groups, along with many others. The IRESC team uses several modes of communication, including HF, VHF, UHF, amateur satellites, and principally VoIP Technology communications.IRESC VoIP systems use the Internet to link communications over vast distances without the propagation and interference shortcomings of radio paths.
