Welcome!
Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service
| We are volunteer amateur radio operators who serve our community by providing emergency and disaster communications during a time of need. We develop and maintain our communications ability by training throughout the year with weekly radio nets and special practice exercises. RACES is not a club, rather it is a public service under FEMA and the FCC and administered by a city, county or state civil defense agency responsible for disaster services. |   May 1, 2021 City/County RACES Deployment Exercise |
