We are always looking for more civic-minded amateur radio operators to join our work! You do not need an elaborate radio system or years of experience. All it takes is a willingness to serve and learn! Much of our work can be completed locally with a low-cost handheld transceiver (HT), although the use of a mobile radio can be an asset in some cases.
To participate in Warren County ARES:
You must have an FCC-issued license at the technician level or higher.
You need to complete a few FEMA courses. At the minimum, Warren County ARES members need to have completed FEMA courses IS-100b and IS-700a. This is an expectation of the Warren County Office of Emergency Management due to FEMA requirements. The courses are online and free, and can be found here: FEMA Emergency Management Institute. (THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY DOWN DUE TO GOVERNMENT FUNDING)
Please indicate your interest by completing the Google form below. Once you have completed the form, Kevin Cottington, Warren County ARES Emergency Coordinator, will review your responses and contact you with more information.
