SLOECC maintains a fully equipped ARES/RACES radio communications center at the county Emergency Operations Center on Kansas Avenue off Highway 1, adjacent to the Sheriff's Office. In addition, local ARES/RACES Emergency Communication Centers (ECC) are located in San Luis Obispo, Atascadero, Morro Bay, Grover Beach, Cambria, Los Osos, Oceano, Paso Robles and at Cal Poly. Other Emergency Communication Centers throughout the county under construction or in the planning stages include Templeton and Nipomo.
