Public Service!
Nassau County ARES is a dedicated organization of licensed and trained radio operators who volunteer their time, skills and equipment to work together as a communications team. In doing so, we provide swift and reliable voice, wireless video and digital communications to aid
event organizers and to enhance the safety and security of the general public.
FCC regulations prohibit us from being compensated for our services or from being utilized to directly benefit charitable organizations fund raising efforts. We also do not accept or solicit donations. We are 100% self funded! These rules enable us to focus on our core mission: the safety of the public and event participants by providing consistent, coordinated communications. We deliver many thousands of dollars
of equipment and services to event organizers at our own expense so that we can drill and maintain a state of readiness when disaster strikes and we're called upon by the Red Cross.
Events we've Proudly provided communications assistance for:
Regional OEM CERT Drills (see News12 Video)
Lynbrook Fly with the Owls Run
MS Walk at Jones Beach
American Cancer Society Walk - Jones Beach
