The Mississauga Amateur Radio Club also supports Amateur Radio Emergency Services. (ARES) ARES members are involved in many Club activities and are engaged in the set-up and planning of an emergency preparedness infrastructure and the training of our members in emergency planning and operations.
The Mississauga Amateur Radio Club has put together a Field Services Vehicle that can act as an on-site communications control centre for disaster operations and also to co-ordinate communications during our many public service activities. Click Here to see the FSV.
Under the authority of the Region of Peel Emergency Programs Manager, the Mississauga ARES group will, when requested, provide emergency communications services for the Ontario and/or Peel Region branches of the Canadian Red Cross, in times of disaster. We also operate in co-operation with the St. John's Ambulance, as required. Read the RAC/Canadian Red Cross Memorandum of Understanding.
