Hall County Emergency Management Agency

   The Hall County ARES primary served agency is our local Emergency Management Agency.  We maintain a highly functional amateur radio communications facility that is operated under the call sign WE4EOC just one door away from the Incident Command Center.  We provide backup communications for the 911 center and Fire Services from this facility.  During severe weather events we run the Counties Skywarn nets from this station and feed real-time data from our trained spotters directly to the EMA personnel.
