Membership requirements


  • Check-in during at least one Thursday night net per quarter

RACES membership will require:

Notes:


  • If you have completed IS-2 or IS-22, the IS-909 requirement is waived.
  • If you have completed earlier versions of IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, or IS-800, the requirement for current version is waived for ARPSC membership. Completion of earlier versions will fully satisfy credentialing requirements.
