ARES Capabilities

ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) is a volunteer organization where licensed amateur radio operators assist communities during emergencies. They provide reliable communication when regular systems fail, supporting first responders by relaying messages, coordinating aid, and gathering vital information. ARES members are trained to operate radio equipment effectively in challenging situations, helping ensure that critical information reaches the right people quickly. Their efforts enhance public safety during disasters like storms, floods, or outages, acting as a vital backup communication network to support emergency response and recovery efforts.
