Amateur Radio Emergency Service (A.R.E.S.)

The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (A.R.E.S.) is a dedicated group of licensed amateur radio operators who volunteer their skills and equipment to provide crucial communication support during emergencies and disasters. As an A.R.E.S. member, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring that vital information flows seamlessly when traditional communication channels are compromised.
