Amateur Radio Emergency Service¨ (ARES¨) in the Puerto Rico Section of ARRL The
Narional Association for Amateur Radio¨ has signed a renewal Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the American Red Cross Puerto Rico Region. The
agreement establishes a framework of cooperation and a close working
relationship with ARRL ARES volunteers.

Both ARES and the Red Cross agree that, with the resources of both
organizations, the public will be best served during disasters, emergencies,
and other public service related situations.

ARRL Puerto Rico Section Manager Carmen N. Greene, KP4QVQ, believes the new MOU
benefits everyone. "The renewal of the existing MOU with the American Red Cross
of Puerto Rico is a testament to the relationship and commitment we have at the
local section level with the legendary organization," she said. "We feel that
our communities will greatly benefit from the joint efforts to train and
practice the ability to pass messages when the normal infrastructure is not
available."

She added that as a new Section Manager, it feels great to have this experience
with an important organization, as well as having great contact with all the
hams around the island.ÿ
