Palm Beach County ARES/RACES Organization Associated with the American Radio Relay League, ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) has provided civilian emergency communication capabilities for better than 50 years. It is a civilian organization. RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) unlike ARES is an extension of the Government and provides disaster communications during periods when normal government communications are unavailable, or require augmentation. In Palm Beach County, the two organizations act in a unified network with the entire ARES organization becoming a part of the RACES organization during times of declared emergency. In this way, the organization can participate in pre-disaster preparations, disaster operations, and post-disaster clean up without disruptive organizational changes. Contact the Area Coordinators: Central Ares Coordinator Dick Schofield, KE4CGQ 561-584-0617 North Area Coordinator Jerry Gumbus, N4GKI 561-746-0503 South Area Coordinator Ron Diego, W2DO 561-487-1726 |
