Disaster Response

In the event of an area disaster or a need for an unscheduled callout,  DuPage ARES leadership will start a net, we will mobilize using  simplex - per DuPage County IL ARES Pace Plan.


Once  you have found a DuPage ARES net, check in and advise as to condition  and availability. Even if you will be responding to a callout from another agency, such as a local EMA, advise us so we know who is  available, and in turn, you can make your capabilities known to that  organization.


In general, DO NOT SELF-DEPLOY!
