Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES)

ARES logo   The Amateur Radio Emergency Service consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment with their local ARES leadership for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.

About Lewis County ARES

In section 97.1 of the FCC Amateur Radio Service rules and regulations, the fundamental purpose of the Amateur Radio Service is expressed in these five principles:
  1. Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications.
  2. Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art.
  3. Encouragement and improvement of the amateur radio service through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the communications and technical phases of the art.
  4. Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians and electronics experts.
  5. Continuation and extension of the amateur's unique ability to enhance international goodwill.
This is what the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) program is all about and what each ARES unit strives for in all its members.
