The Provincial Emergency Radio Communications Service (PERCS) provides an identity for amateur radio volunteers who provide Emergency Radio Communications in the Province of British Columbia in support of their local municipality, the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness (EMCR) or other response agencies.

Through PERCS, amateur radio emergency communication is jointly coordinated in the Province of BC through EMCR working in partnership with Radio Amateurs of Canada. This relationship has been formalized through a Letter of Understanding.

EMCR is organized into three regions. North, Southern Interior and South Coast.

Information on local Emergency Radio Communications groups is available on the links page.
