| 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
emerencies, serving as a centralized point for the organization of
R.A.C.E.S. volunteers. More... |
