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.
ARES Membership Requirements
Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization is eligible to apply for membership in ARES. Training may be required or desired to participate fully in ARES. Please inquire at the local level for specific information. Because ARES is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.
To apply and get involved at the local level please fill out the form above, save it AS YOUR CALL SIGN, and email it to admin@keyscares.net
If you are with an Established Organization, please state which and after your Call Sign add S/A (Self Assigned) and with whom (i.e. Red Cross).
