What is ARES?
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) consists of licensed
amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications
and equipment for communications duty in the public service when
disaster strikes. Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership
in ARRL or any other local or national organization, is eligible
for membership in the ARES. The only qualification, other than
possession of an Amateur Radio license, is a sincere desire to
serve. Because ARES is an amateur service, only amateurs are eligible
for membership. The possession of emergency powered equipment
is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.
More information will be added - Pending completion of the Website Reconstruction Project.
