Conventional radio and the way it is used and managed within a jurisdiction presents its own particular problems. Can the county emergency management agency talk to the law enforcement, or the fire department?

This material was presented to a semi-annual meeting of the communications leaders from ACS, ARES, CDF VIP, MARS, RACES, REACT, Red Cross, and other emergency response officials. They represented a population of 2,522,368 and an area of 13,860 sqare miles, being 11 counties, each of which may exceed the size and population of one or more states
Continuation:
The SHARES network presently consists of 1040 HF radio stations, located in all 50 states, and at 34 overseas locations. As shown in bulletin 084, an ACS unit does not kick into a "RACES-like mode". It's already a function of government with no need to switch modes to RACES to have a sanction of government, as is the case with ARES.
Continuation of query: "....For instance, up to a certain situation, does the ACS function mainly as a closely knit ARES-like support group closely tied to government? After that point does the group kick into a RACES-like mode?.....In that case are there sometimes some of the original group still operating in the first mode/level?"
Query: "In actual ACS operations when there is an escalating disaster, are there levels of operation? For instance, up to a certain situation, does ACS function mainly as a closely knit ARES-like support group closely tied to government?"
