Emergency Management

Volunteer Opportunities

It is not a matter of if, but when a disaster will come, and it is important to be prepared. By taking steps to gain additional training and by getting involved, citizens in Irving can not only protect themselves and their families during disaster, but also help those in their neighborhoods.

RACES/ARES

The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)/Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) group is composed of all volunteers. They provide communications capability for the City of Irving when requested. All of the volunteers are FCC licensed radio operators. All members belong to both RACES and ARES, which complement each other.

The majority of activations deal with a potential severe weather threat. The primary task is to identify the severe weather threat, communicate that threat and its location to our sponsoring agency, the Office of Emergency Management, and our supported agency, the National Weather Service, so a public warning can be given.
