Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service
|
|
RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) is provided for in Part 97 of the FCC rules and regulations governing amateur radio in the United States. To operate on behalf of a public agency during a declared emergency you would operate as a RACES member.
Frequently, local chapters combine with ARES, although the functions of ARES and RACES are somewhat different.
