The ARES Rally Plan outlines our coordinated approach to organizing and deploying amateur radio operators during emergencies and public service events. It ensures that all members know where to gather, how to communicate effectively, and what tasks to prioritize. Rally points, activation procedures, and resource assignments are detailed in the plan to maintain a swift and organized response to any situation. Whether responding to natural disasters or supporting community events, the Rally Plan is a critical component of our mission.
For a detailed breakdown of procedures, assignments, and communications protocols, please refer to our Incident Action Plan (IAP).
Do NOT Self-deploy
Deployment is a coordinated event. Deployment can only be activated from the Emergency Coordinator / Deputy Emergency Coordinator for the County, Region, or State. Members should never self-deploy.
