name: Radio Amateur Civil Emgergency Service - RACES -> Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service - RACES

notes: The primary purpose of the Sachse RACES organization is to serve as a link via amateur radio between the National Weather Service, SKYWARN trained spotters in the field, and other communities equipped with the emergency operations centers during severe weather. The E.O.C. is activated whenever conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms or tornado formation, but can function as a command post during other types of emergencies, serving as a centralized point for the organization of R.A.C.E.S. volunteers.

The E.O.C. is activated whenever conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms or tornado formation, but can function as a command post during other types of emergencies, serving as a centralized point for the organization of R.A.C.E.S. volunteers. One of the major duties of Sachse RACES volunteers is participation in the National Weather Service SKYWARN program. SKYWARN nets are activated whenever severe weather, usually with tornadic potential, is threatening Dallas County. RACES members whom participate in SKYWARN nets are required to attend a SKYWARN Training Seminar sponsored by the National Weather Service at least once every two years. Dallas County participants usually attend the Garland SKYWARN seminar which takes place annually on the last Saturday of February at the Garland Performing Arts Center. For more information on the SKYWARN program, contact any of the Sachse RACES Radio Officers at: kd5pxo@arrl.net Glen Geen - KD5PXO/203 Sachse R.A.C.E.S.
