KARO ECHO is the acronym for the Kensington Amateur Radio Operators (KARO) and the El Cerrito Ham Operators (ECHO) mutual benefit association, an all-volunteer non-profit tax deductible organization of amateur radio operators providing auxiliary communications for the cities of Kensington and El Cerrito in the event of a disaster. KARO ECHO works with CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) in Kensington and El Cerrito, but is not an official part of the CERT program.

Although our focus is on Kensington and El Cerrito, all are welcome to train with us. KARO ECHO provides hands-on practical training and biannual Simulated Emergency Tests (SETs) emphasizing best practices.For more please visit  https://www.karoecho.net
