The Volusia County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES®) is a volunteer corps of licensed radio amateurs who have expressed a desire to be of assistance to their neighbors during times of disaster.  Our mission is to provide a viable response to local or regional communications system outages or overloads during times of disaster.  As directed by the Volusia County Emergency Management or other served agency,  we provide back-up communications until normal communications are restored.  We also provide communications services to public service events, such as the Bike MS: PGA TOUR Cycle to Shore and support the National Weather Service’s SKYWARN program.

Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization is eligible to apply for membership in Volusia ARES®.  Because ARES® is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for membership.  Not all who apply will be approved for membership in Volusia ARES®.  To apply for membership, attend at least two back-to-back monthly meetings and ask for a membership application at your second (or later) meeting.

Extensive training is required to participate fully in Volusia ARES® and the possession of emergency-powered amateur radio equipment is  a requirement for membership in Volusia  ARES®.

Our regular meeting location is

The Volusia County Emergency Management Building 3825 Tiger Bay Rd #102 Daytona Beach, FL 32124

We currently meet monthly on the last Tuesday of the Month. Next Meeting will be October 29th, 2024 starting at 7pm

 
Dress code and security: Business casual. No weapons, colors or attitude.
