7 ARES and RACES ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) is a part of amateur radio sponsored by the ARRL (American Radio Relay League). ARES provides communications for both civil preparedness as well as non-emergency events such as parades, foot and bicycle races, and other community events RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) is a part of amateur radio sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). RACES provides emergency communications for civil preparedness purposes only. Using the same operators and the same frequencies, an ARES group also enrolled as RACES can "switch hats" from ARES to RACES and RACES to ARES to meet the requirements of the situation as it develops. For example, during a "non declared emergency," ARES can operate under ARES, but when an emergency or disaster is officially declared by a state or federal authority, the operation can become RACES with no change in personnel or frequencies.
