The ARES Team consists of amateur radio enthusiasts who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment for communications duty when disaster strikes.

ARES participates in Amateur Radio Field Day every year in June, provides radio support at local events like bicycle and foot races, and more.

Amateur Radio Field Day

This event is designed to test Amateur Radio (Ham) operators' skills in setting up and operating radio communications equipment in situations where electrical power is limited or unavailable. The idea is to simulate the conditions that can occur during an earthquake, flood, or other emergency, including man-made disasters.

The event is open to the public and the hams often have a "Get on the Air" (GOTA) station available for the general public to operate, under the supervision of licensed radio operators, to make contact with hams from other areas of the world.
