Ham Radio operators have supported public events in Anchorage for
over 70 years. With more than 1200 amateur radio operators throughout the Municipality including Eagle River and Girdwood, ham radio has the ability to provide communication coverage over the entire Anchorage bowl. Each operator has a radio, their own power supply and a general knowledge of emergency communications needed to provide emergency or priority communications traffic compliant with the Federal Response Plan National Traffic System. Amateur Radio is a key component in the State of Alaska Emergency Plan and the Anchorage Emergency Plan. With stations in both State and local Emergency Operations Centers we provide government liaison support when public communication systems fail.
Amateur Radio Emergency Services is dedicated to amateur radio as it pertains to disaster services. The history of amateur radio operators' involvement in sending life-saving information in and out of disaster areas and providing help during and after earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. “HAM’ radio has been there to assist local, state, and federal agencies and relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, Civil Air Patrol, National Weather Service and many others.
With the use of our Command and Control Vehicle (CCV), ARES has the resources to provide interoperability to all agencies involved in this event. The CCV has multiple modes of communication. Our radios include VHF UHF radios needed to talk to local emergency services, Aviation radios needed to provide air to ground communication, Marine radios to provide communication support to US Coast Guard Auxiliary, Search and Rescue, digital packet communications, satellite operations and at least three HF stations concurrently. The CCV has the ability to be an Incident Command Center or event coordination facility if needed.
