PG ARES

Providing communications support for emergencies and public service in Prince George’s County.

The PG-ARES Hospital Coalition consists of the seven hospitals in Prince Georges County, Maryland, linked together by Amateur Radio using VHF & UHF Voice & Data links during emergencies when all other means of communication (land-line telephone, cellphone & internet) is not available.

In addition to our regular nets, we conduct quarterly drills and support emergency management activities at these area hospitals and local government entities.
