Our Purpose

Hamilton County ARES strives to be an effective partner in emergency/disaster response, providing the citizens of our county and public service/safety partners with amateur radio communications expertise, situational awareness, and capabilities of professional communicators.

ARES STATUS

Amateur (ham) Radio is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
