Harvey, Irma, Katrina, Michael and Maria. Historically, amateur radio has been a 
valuable resource in the Response and Recovery phases of many disasters, 
providing expedient communications when standard public safety and commercial 
telecommunications infrastructure has been severely impacted or completely 
overwhelmed. This webinar will discuss the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) and 
ARES® (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and how these volunteers can assist 
emergency managers before, during and after disasters.

and Federal Emergency Managers, CERT Program Leaders, Health Departments, and NGO’s.
