Paulding County
Amateur Radio Emergency Service

Our Mission

Paulding County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is an organized unit of trained, FCC-licensed volunteer Amateur Radio operators dedicated to providing back-up, auxiliary emergency communication support to the Paulding County Emergency Management Agency (EMA). Support is also provided to other local and State agencies including GEMA and Federal agencies including FEMA during disasters and other emergencies. Paulding County ARES also provides communication support for public service events, and we regularly participate in readiness exercises and drills.
