Located in the county of Collin, TX, we were organized in 1975 by a group of amateurs who had a strong desire to serve their community and provide emergency communications.
The primary function of Collin County Amateur Radio Emergency Services or CCARES, is to support our Served Agencies. The agencies we support, but not limited to are The National Weather Service, The Red Cross, Homeland Security and The Department of Health Services.

SKYWARN TRAINING 2019
Thank you to everyone that attended (~300). We appreciate your patience with the shutdown, the "lack of" elbow room like we would normally have, and the change of venue.
The presenters did a great job at bringing all the information down to a level that the beginner and the novice were able to understand. Thank you to everyone that presented, organizations that provided information at the tables, registration, the NWS Forth Worth, Collin College, and Collin County Office of Emergency Management for the sponsorship.
We will look at the third week of January for the 2020 training date.
Here is the list of upcoming classes:
