The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.
ARES® Volunteer Requirements
Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL or any other local or national organization is eligible to apply for membership in ARES. Training may be required or desired to participate fully in ARES. Please inquire at the local level for specific information. Because ARES is an Amateur Radio program, only licensed radio amateurs are eligible for membership. The possession of emergency-powered equipment is desirable, but is not a requirement for membership.
Indiana ARES districts correspond to Indiana Department of Homeland Security districts.

The Indiana Section ARES® HF net is held on 3.900 MHz +/- during the winter months and 7.280 MHz +/- during the summer months, every Sunday at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
