About This Site

This site is the latest iteration of the Fairfax County ARES website. We’ve had a long history but unfortunately that came with a long list of old websites which were abandoned as membership came and went over the years. Hopefully the way this site is designed will allow it be maintained for a lot longer than its predecessors.

Some of the old websites include:

ffxares.org
fairfaxares.org
https://sites.google.com/site/fairfaxares
https://www.qsl.net/fairfaxares/main.htm

Please update your bookmarks and any references to the old websites to point to this new one.
