Macon-Bibb Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES)

ARES is a group of dedicated Amateur Radio volunteers (“Hams”) that provide emergency communications (EmComm) for various public safety agencies in the Middle GA area in a time of disaster and infrastructure failure. Our National Weather Service (NWS) trained members also provide weather related information for the Central Georgia Area through the NWS SkyWarn spotter program.

When all else fails– Amateur Radio works!
