ARES-Alert Reflector

"The Radio Amateurs of Canada Field Services Organization has created an ARES-Alert system for Radio Amateurs who are part of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service or other Canadian Emcomm unit.

"The email-based system is provided as a means to alert Radio Amateurs of emergencies or disasters, or threat of same, where Amateur Emcomm services are or may be required. It will also serve to advise stations of the need to avoid or monitor frequencies that are being used in an emergency event anywhere in the world.

"Any Canadian Radio Amateur may register to be added to the email list. Full name, call sign and QTH are required.

"This is not a "chat" reflector and only national officials of the RAC Field Services Organization will have authority to initiate messages.

"To be added to the list, or for further information, please see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ARES-Alert/ ."
