Welcome to the "Interim" page for the San Jose ARES/RACES organization.

Check the "New Info" button for late breaking news, and announcements.

It is requested that members of San Jose RACES join the SJRACES mailing list.

The SJRACES area is open for members only, and information that is not for public viewing should be located in the calendar or files area on the yahoogroups site.

Below are a few photos showing our City of San Jose Communications center, and  part of our RACES radio room. "San Jose Prepared" is a function separate from the City of San Jose RACES program, and is the community outreach program created by our City's Office of Emergency Services.

San Jose Prepared is a structured program for  the residents of
San Jose which provides training in areas of Damage Assessment,
neighborhood Search & Rescue, First Aid/CPR, Fire Fighting, and
related activities.

Members of the San Jose Prepared program, and residents of San Jose who are also licensed amateur radio operators are encouraged to join the RACES program.

 

 

 

 

RACES, sponsored by our City's Office of Emergency Services, and FEMA, provides additional communications channels to the City organization in times of declared emergency. Communications support for public services events of a non-emergency nature are provided by our amateur radio operators in their role as ARES members.

For further information on the ARES/RACES program, please email
Mr. Dave Pratt,  our Emergency Coordinator, at

Further information of a general nature, related to Amateur Radio, and the "Amateur Radio Emergency Service" (ARES), may be found via
the ARRL website
