Has Clark County ARES/RACES Been Activated?
ABOUT CLARK COUNTY ARES/RACES
Clark County, Nevada, ARES/RACES is a team of
Amateur Radio Operators, licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), who have voluntarily agreed to utilize their skills
and sometimes their own equipment for public service communications
support to both government and non-government entities. Clark County ARES/RACES is not a club, but rather a team dedicated to serve the public. There are no
dues. We hold monthly training sessions.
ARES is activated before, during and after an emergency. Generally, ARES
handles all emergency messages, including those between government
emergency management officials. RACES, on the other hand, almost never
starts before an emergency and is active only during the emergency and
during the immediate aftermath if government emergency management
offices need communications support. RACES is normally shut down shortly
after the emergency has cleared.
Our primary mission is to augment and support vital communications on
behalf of the public through partner agencies during emergencies and
disasters. Especially when normal communications
fail or become overloaded. Our partner agencies include the Emergency
Management offices of Clark County and the Cities of Las Vegas, North
Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, the Southern Nevada Health District, the Las Vegas Chapter
of the American Red Cross and 17 hospitals in Clark County.
To obtain more information about our unit or how to join Clark County ARES/RACES, email
the Clark County Emergency Coordinator, Jimmy Gollohan, AA4Z.
