What is expected of ARES members?
It is expected that ARES members will have a genuine desire to participate in ARES drills, training activities, public service events, and during actual emergencies, and act in a calm, disciplined and professional manner while doing so. ARES members work to improve their communications skills and capabilities through training and participation in public service events. They stay informed of upcoming events by checking in to the weekly nets, and they play an active role in the organization by attending the monthly meetings. ARES members also strive to improve their level of emergency preparedness by keeping their portable equipment in good operating condition, all together in one place and ready to go at a moments notice, and by adding, building, or repairing the equipment items that training and experience has shown to be lacking.
