As an amateur radio operator, what are my responsibilities in the RACES program?
As in the SKYWARN Program, there are no hours of service or assigned locations, but we ask that during times of local or national emergency, that amateur radio operators monitor the local RACES repeaters for guidance and instructions. Do not report to a disaster scene unless officially requested to do so. Always carry your amateur radio license and SKYWARN reference card, as well as other means of personal identification. Federal Emergency Management Agency “NIMS” training is highly recommended.
