| | RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) |
 | | RACES is administrated by a local, county, or state civil defense agency responsible for disaster services. |
 | | RACES is a function of the agency's Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS), sometimes known as DCS (Disaster Communications Service), ECS (Emergency Communications Service), ARPSC (Amateur Radio Public Service Corps), etc. Many ACS units identify themselves solely as RACES organizations, even though their communications functions and activities typically go beyond the restrictions of RACES operations. |
 | | To join ACS or RACES and to be able to participate in RACES and other government emergency communications activities, contact your local, county, or state ACS Officer or RACES Radio Officer or Coordinator. |
