ARES is an acronym for Amateur Radio Emeregency Service and is an organized ARRL program with structured training, leadership roles, and official local groups. ARES members prepare, train, and activate before, during, and after emergencies to support local agencies.
Joining requires registration with a local ARRL Emergency Coordinator and completing a few on-line FEMA incident management courses. There is no cost or scheduled times for the courses and they can be taken through online independent study.
