The RACES program and therefore RACES frequencies, is localized, depending on the community or state's involvement in Emergency Management/Civil Defense. For Example here in Massachusetts the program is quite strong, with a good heirarchy and community involvement. I beleive that RACES is defined as any amateur radio communications supporting EM/CD, but the fact that it is defined so strictly may discourage some amateurs from participating. Even in a post 9/11 enviroment of emergency preparidness, agencies like CERT tend not to find intrest in the strict confines of RACES programs.
As far as "EOC frequencies" are concerned, those are even more highly localized. Consisting of either amateur frequencies, public saftey or both. It would not be odd that during an activation that an EOC might not transmitt outside of normal PD/FD, frequencies, beceause essentially an EOC is just a place were those incharge of disaster mitigation meet. A good place to start would be with frequencies lisenced to you local or state emergency management, frequencies which are not active under normal circumstances. If you are truly interested you can contact me on the side, but you should be able to find said frequencies easily with a little bit of searching. > > There used to be RACES frequencies, but I think that provision went away > years ago.
