Club Management
ARES/RACES readiness tracking for your team
Know who is available, what certifications they hold, and what equipment they can deploy. Before the emergency happens.
Readiness Dashboard
One screen tells you everything. See how many members are available, limited, or unavailable right now. Review certification coverage across your team and equipment totals by category.
- Available, limited, and unavailable member counts at a glance
- Certification coverage summary across all members
- Equipment totals by category so you know what your team can field
- Per-member readiness detail with drill-down view
Certification Tracking
Track every certification that matters for emergency communications. ICS-100 through ICS-800, SKYWARN, CPR/First Aid, EC-001, and any custom cert types your program requires.
- Built-in support for ICS, SKYWARN, CPR/First Aid, and ARRL EC-001
- Track completion dates, expiration dates, and certificate numbers
- See at a glance who needs to renew before their certs expire
- Add custom certification types for your local requirements
Equipment Inventory
Members log their own gear: HTs, mobile rigs, base stations, antennas, go-kits, generators, and power supplies. Know what your team can deploy before you need it.
- Members maintain their own equipment lists with descriptions
- Categories for radios, antennas, go-kits, generators, power supplies, and more
- Aggregated equipment summary shows total deployable resources
- No chasing members for inventory updates; they do it themselves
Personal Readiness Status
Each member sets their own availability: available, limited, or unavailable. Updated in real-time so the EC always has a current picture of who can respond.
- Three-level status: available, limited, or unavailable
- Members update their own status; no polling or phone trees needed
- Real-time updates visible on the readiness dashboard
- When the call comes, you already know who to activate
Your EC will thank you.
This is not a general project management tool. It is built specifically for the ARES/RACES workflow. Your team updates their own status and gear. You see the dashboard. When the call comes, you already know who to activate, what certifications they hold, and what equipment they can bring to the staging area.
Self-Service Updates
Members manage their own certifications, equipment, and availability. You spend your time coordinating, not collecting data.
Always Current
No stale spreadsheets or outdated rosters. The dashboard reflects real-time data from your team.
