What’s the Difference Between ARES & RACES?
RACES on the other hand, almost never starts before an emergency and is active only during the emergency and during the immediate aftermath if government emergency management offices need communications support. RACES is normally shut down shortly after the emergency has cleared.
ARES is activated before, during and after an emergency. Generally, ARES handles all emergency messages, including those between government emergency management officials.
