Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES)

Many SARA members are involved in the Amateur Radio Emergency Services or “ARES”. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) 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. SARA members are also members of the Summit Co. ARES and Wayne Co. ARES. In fact, both the Section Emergency Coordinator of Summit and Wayne are SARA members!
