I am a member of Eastern Mass A.R.E.S. (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) as well as a trained Skywarn Spotter for the National Weather Service. Bruce Bumpus - Plainville EMA Director, appointed me to his team as R.A.C.E.S. (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) Radio Operator for the Town's Emergency Management Team. Along with Bruce, I handle the communications duties for the Town in the event of a Disaster/Storm or for regularly scheduled drills. We have several pieces of emergency equipment at our disposal and can set up in a very short time and be on the air. We work closely with the Plainville Police and Fire Departments as well as the surrounding communities' EMA staff.
