Disaster preparations and relief: The partnership between the American National Red Cross and Amateur Radio Bayley B. Brown The goal of this master's thesis is to evaluate the current state of the partnership between the American National Red Cross chapters and Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) groups. The alliance between these organizations has historically been outlined by national representatives, the most recent being the 2010 Memorandum of Understanding between the American National Red Cross and ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. This partnership was assessed through a nationwide survey of American National Red Cross chapter representatives. Findings suggest that most Red Cross chapters have current partnerships with their local ARES group, and collaboration occurs primarily for disaster preparation and during relief efforts. The information gathered in this project helps raise awareness of the partnership between the Red Cross and ARES groups, familiarizes other organizations of both group's resources, and adds to the theory of collaborative advantage.
