Communications, both internal and external, is an essential piece of incident response, awareness, and readiness. While the FIRST community has a lot of technical groups solving problems, there was not previously a (public) group to discuss communications.
At the broadest level, our goal is to have a communications-focussed group from around the world to share ideas and achievements.
Any FIRST member may join, others are welcome as well, requests must be approved by the SIG chairs.
