Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service

Der Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service RACES ist eine Notfunk-Organisationsplan für den Amateurfunkdienst in den USA. RACES ist nach einer Vorschrift der Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ein "Standby-Dienst".
Das Konzept eines "Amateurfunk-Notdienstes" , der den regulären Amateurfunkdienst in Kriegszeiten ablöst, resultierte aus einer Idee der American Radio Relay League und dem Department of the Army's Office of Civil Defense von 1952. Nach dem Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges war der Amateurfunkdienst weitgehend eingeschlafen und mit dem RACES sollte er wieder in den Zivilschutz integriert werden. Der Kriegsfall, in dem der reguläre Amateurfunkdienst ausgesetzt wird und ausschließlich Notfunkverkehr nach RACES abgewickelt wird, ist nie eingetreten.
Von vielen Funkamateuren wird RACES als Relikt des Kalten Krieges angesehen. Aktive Netzwerke wie der Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) (USA/Kanada) und das weltweite IRESC-Netzwerk sind in konkreten Notlagen (Haiti 2010) von größerer Bedeutung.
