PURPOSE
PREVIOUS < TABLE OF CONTENTS > NEXT
The purpose of this
handbook is to provide ARES/RACES
operators with information that will
result in effective emergency
communications.
This information will
answer most of the questions you may have
when called upon to perform as an
emergency operator.
Much of the information
contained in this text is for general use
and may be shared with others.
All information marked
"confidential" is not to be
released to the public!!
Instructions in this
handbook can be superseded by any
memorandum of agreement with any agency,
government or other entity for which we
provide assistance.
FCC Rules Part 97.1
lists one of the 5 principles of the
basis and purpose of the amateur service
as "recognition and enhancement of
the value of the amateur service to the
public as a voluntary non-commercial
communication service, particularly with
respect to providing emergency
communications."
Since our service truly
assists the public in time of emergency,
it is imperative that all stations
cooperate with one another. The
effectiveness of this handbook depends
upon the contributions of all emergency
operators!
Suggestions for
additions or changes in this manual are
encouraged.
