| RACES PLAN |
|
|
Founded in 1952, the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is a public service that provides a reserve communications group within government agencies in times of extraordinary need. During periods of activation, RACES personnel are called upon to perform many tasks for the government agencies they serve. Although the exact nature of each activation will be different, the common thread is communications. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for the regulation of RACES operations. Each RACES group is administrated by a local, county, or state civil defense agency responsible for disaster services.

Mingo County RACES Response Plans
|
Mark Miller/KB8KDR is in charge of RACES in Mingo County, W.V. Mark will coordinate all communications between agencies as it becomes necessary. Those include DES, FEMA, Red Cross, National Guard, Salvation Army, Local Police, Ambulance and Fire Departments. The structure he has set forth in ARES Response Plan will carry over when RACES takes over.
We feel that it is very important to work with your local officials and agencies, so that they will know that you are capable of providing communications at their request.
