Uncover strategies for connecting with loved ones post disaster and find a complete overview of emergency communication gear and equipment including ham, CB, GMRS, and MURS Radios, walkie talkies, satellite phones, and more, along with the skills needed to use them. You’ll also find reliable emergency power solutions, including solar generators, portable battery systems, and backup power stations, to keep your communication devices running during a disaster.
Emergency Communication 101 offers expert advice on identifying your needs, creating contingency plans, and preparing for scenarios like power outages, natural disasters, or cyberattacks to ensure you’re ready for any situation.
