Clatsop County Auxiliary Communications Service (AuxComm) is part of a national network of communications organizations under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Clatsop County Auxiliary Communications (AuxComm), formed in 2017 by combining Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES) and Military Auxiliary Radio Service (MARS) into one coordinated unit of experienced local amateurs ready and willing to support their communities through amateur radio services during disasters.
Clatsop County’s Emergency Operations Center was one of the first in the Pacific Northwest to combine ARES, RACES, MARS, CERT, other area communications, and independent licensed amateurs under an AuxComm umbrella.
AuxComm personnel become involved in public safety or other government communications, Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staffing, and emergency equipment repair.
Emergency Communications volunteers from all areas may use these TLA Emergency Communications pages for training and exercises. TLA is grateful for the voluntary contributions from local members of AuxComm and WHO, which enhance these pages for all readers and participants everywhere. The Clatsop County AuxComm organization operates officially under the Emergency Management Division of Clatsop County, Oregon, USA, and is itself not affiliated with Titanic Lifeboat Academy.
