YARC encourages its members to assist our community and prepare for emergencies by participating in public service events. We also encourage you to become a member of the Yavapai County ARES/RACES organization. You do not have to be a YARC member or an ARES/RACES member to participate in the public service events.
Don’t worry if you are inexperienced, we will pair you up with someone who is experienced. Also the large majority of assigned locations are easily reachable with an ordinary vehicle on a paved or hardened dirt road. Don’t worry if you are concerned that you don’t have adequate radio equipment, as that won’t keep you from being a valuable member of the team.
