The purpose of ARES is to provide emergency communications in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency where regular communications are inadequate. Sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), ARES functions at the local level to meet local communications needs.

Upon acceptance, you will provide and maintain information on your skills, capabilities and available equipment to assist Gwinnett ARES in supporting emergency communications.
