 Our partnership began with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.  Since those events, we have continued to serve Walker County as an emergency amateur radio outlet.  The Emergency Management Coordinator has been proactive for amateur radio since our first event.  Walker County ARES ©  has been afforded a radio room, communications equipment, tower, antennas, and coax cable.  In addition to amateur radio equipment, our radio room has first responder radio equipment in the VHF and 700-800 spectrum as well as satellite communications.  Operators receive training in first responder communications in order to maintain contact during all activations.  

We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps provide a much needed service to Walker County.
