The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES®) is a volunteer radio communications service available to federal, state, county and local government, as well as not-profit organizations. ARES® consists of amateur radio operators nationwide who have voluntarily registered their services and formed an organized pool of resources to provide reliable primary or secondary communications links for governmental agencies and/or not-profit organizations when needed.
If you represent a group that could benefit from the support provided by Sauk Count ARES/RACES, feel free to contact us. |

When emergency agencies are required in areas where a disaster has occurred, their regular means of communications can be affected as a result of the disaster. That creates the need for a supplemental or back-up communications system, one that comes complete with equipment and trained operators, all at no cost to the public or the agency involved. In fact, these men and women are volunteer members of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).
