ARES is a program sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) in the United States. ARES groups are composed of licensed amateur radio operators who volunteer their time and expertise to provide emergency communications during times of need. These groups often work in collaboration with local emergency services, such as law enforcement, fire departments, and other agencies, to establish and maintain communication capabilities during disasters, emergencies, and charity events.
