The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is a public service provided by a reserve (volunteer) group of Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) Operators that is administered by local, county and state emergency management agencies, and supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

RACES operators perform duties during all activations of the Emergency Operations Center and are credentialed to respond as a part of the Emergency Operations Plan. These communication operators provide or supplement communications during activations for Fire, Police, Rescue, County resources and Emergency Management when normal communication systems have sustained damage. Activation of RACES operators may be used for a wide variety of situations including tropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, technological and nuclear disasters.
