Our primary focus is situation awareness, information gathering, and emergency and logistical communications support of the served agencies we assist, with a focus on amateur radio as the means to do that.

Mainly, this includes:

• Assisting the City of Worcester's Emergency Management - we are the city's Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) program
• Assisting any other community or disaster relief organization upon request
• Assisting the National Weather Service via participation in the SKYWARN weather spotter program with WX1BOX
• Participating in the in the ARRL's ARES program within the Western ARRL MA section

We help out anywhere else we can in a variety of non-emergency events as well, such as marathons, walkathons, triathlons, parades, and the like. We take advantage of the fact that these events often require us to provide a lot of the same skills that we would need to support an actual emergency incident. Not only do these events serve as a form of training for us, it's another way we can help out the community overall.
