http://www.multnomahares.org is the new URL for Multnomah County ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services), the organization of volunteer amateur radio operators who will connect NET teams back to fire stations if conventional coomunications fail. You can also find us by going to the Portland Amateur Radio Club site http://ww.w7lt.org and selecting ARES/RACES.Please consider using us as an information resource for your internal communication planning, for we practice weekly and have broad experience with using radio all over the City. We meet monthly at Fire Station No. 2, 4800 NE 122 Ave (just north of Sandy) on the 4th Thursday of the month at 7PM.
