This is the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) program for Hamilton County, Ohio. We work with the local Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and other amateur radio operators to provide communications support in times of need. This can be anything from large public events to natural and manmade disaster situations. We are there to provide whatever assistance we can to the served agency when they need it.
