INFORMATION:

ARES/RACES Overview  Clark County NV ARES/RACES information flyer

Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) is a public service organization sponsored by the American Radio Relay League. Its members are licensed Amateur Radio Operators who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment to provide emergency communications as needed, and communications support to public service events. (Membership in ARRL is NOT a requirement to join ARES nor is membership in any amateur radio club required. It is open to ALL licensed Amateur Radio Operators.)

Clark County Nevada ARES/RACES is dedicated to working hand in hand with local and state governments, local hospitals, the American Red Cross, the National Weather Service SKYWARN program, and other nonprofit, community-service organizations.

In officially declared emergencies, ARES members registered with RACES may support state and local governments under the authority of the Office of Emergency Management. All Clark County NV ARES/RACES members are registered with both ARES and RACES.

The central focus of ARES/RACES training and activities is to keep members well practiced in providing emergency communications when normal means of communications have failed.

Clark County ARES/RACES wishes to express its appreciation to the Las Vegas Repeater Association for its visible and valuable support during exercises in which Clark County ARES/RACES has participated or generated by providing its very capable communications support vehicle, and for its willingness to make the communications support vehicle available to our organization for exercises, drills, and in the times of emergencies or disasters.

Clark County ARES/RACES acknowledges and thanks the willingness of the many repeater owners in Clark County who have agreed to allow Clark County ARES/RACES to use their repeaters in emergency/disaster situations, if the need arises.
