Clallam County ARES Activities & Events

Amateur Radio Communications for Emergencies

Cascadia Rising 2016:
See our Cascadia Rising page
for resources and information
on this major exercise.

Our ARES organization participates in numerous activities that enable us to test our equipment and processes so that when a true emergency situation arises, we will be better prepared to perform the duties assigned to us by the Clallam County Emergency Operations Center. This section will contain information about our exercises and drills: what we learned, what worked, what did not work, and how we can improve for the next time.

Amateur Radio Communications for Community Events

As emergency communicators, we need to continually practice our skills and check out our equipment. Besides our ARES Emergency Drills, one of the activities that allow our members to exercise their skills and equipment is through participation in community events. We provide course communications for the annual North Olympic Discovery Marathon, and for the first time in 2014, for the Great Olympic Adventure Trail (GOAT) Marathon.

Visit the ARES - GOAT Run page for photos and more information about our participation. Our participation in this event made national news in the ARRL ARES E-Letter. Click here to read the article.
