WELCOME TO ARES ®
”Amateur Radio Emergency Service”
Emergency Communication (and ARES) is part of the ARRL and activities in the county are initiated by the Emergency Coordinator. A section manager appoints an EC in each county within his or her section. The EC can activate the group for events needing communications assistance following proceedures set forth in the ARRL manual.
As a member of SCARA you elect whether or not to become a member of ARES.
As an ARES volunteer you may be called to provide communications for:
* Disaster relief organizations
* Public Service events
* Emergencies or disasters
You will be guided by the A.R.E.S Emergency coordinator in your training in:
* Message handling
* Communication technology
* Administrative procedures
* Disaster preparedness
Members of our ARES group will receive a task book to guide you along the way from beginning to leadership positions.
Amateur Radio has a long tradition of giving back to our communities when the time arises.
There is training for you to complete to be a good communicator but to help others it's worth it.
