REACT is an organization promoting the use of CB radio for emergency communications.

REACT (which originally stood for Radio Emergency Associated Citizens Teams), now known as REACT International with the C standing for Communications in place of Citizens, is an organization promoting the use of CB radio for emergency communications.  REACT was founded in 1962.  They pioneered the use of CB channel 9 as a special emergency-use-only channel, which was later officially adopted by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] in the early 1970's.  Between 1969 and 1975, REACT was sponsored by the [[General Motors]] Research Labs.  They reorganized as an independent [[nonprofit]] organization in 1975.<ref>http://www.reactintl.org/react_histry.htm</ref> 

 

Today, with the decline in the use of CB except by truck drivers, and the popularity of [[cellular telephone]]s, REACT International although they still monitor CB channel 9 nowadays spends most of its effort on the emergency applications of [[amateur radio]].
