	Amateur Radio Emergency Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is a corps of trained amateur radio operator volunteers organized to assist in public service and emergency communications.
		Amateur Radio provides a means of communication when all others fail; Hancock County, Mississippi was entirely out of contact with the outside world after Katrina, except for ARES operators who served as 911 dispatchers and message relayers
		Some Amateur Radio emergency communications groups have decided, for one reason or another, to disavow affiliation with the ARRL, and are generally known by other names (i.e., AREC with the C standing for "Communications"); however, their essential purpose remains the same, and in times of need, they often work side-by-side with ARES and RACES groups.

	ARRLWeb: Public Service Communications Manual S1C1
		The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.
		At the section level, the Section Emergency Coordinator is appointed by the Section Manager (who is elected by the ARRL members in his or her section) and works under his/her supervision.
		Amateurs must use their skills to help the agencies provide the information that needs to be passed, while at the same time showing their talents as trained communicators who know how to pass information quickly and efficiently.

	Amateur Radio Emergency Service
		When Amateur Radio was young, most "hams" used Ford spark coils for transmitters, to "talk" to another ham a couple of blocks away.
		Amateurs at the University of Michigan and at Ohio State University, along with scores of individual Amateurs in the region, successfully bridged the gap between isolated communities and the outside world.
		In most cases Amateur Radio's emergency functions simply supplement conventional communications, such as the telephone system, broadcast radio and TV, and dedicated wire and radio services operated by law enforcement agencies and public disaster response organizations.
