Here's an article about how Microsoft has their own corporate disaster response team who travel to disaster sites, and help with getting technology up and running for the responders and agencies on the ground.

Granted, their support and the services they offer will be very MS-centric (things like Sharepoint and Groove collaboration software), but this is a great idea for an ARES group -- prepare a small server infrastructure in advance of a disaster with the type of tools your served agencies would find useful. Then you can establish an HSMM link between locations (for example, between the EOC and a field location) to facilitate the transfer of application data and voice traffic as well.
