What will you do? How will you communicate with your family or friends? While you may have set aside food and water for an emergency, what about a pair of radios with batteries? Have you considered long-range options? Do you know what your best options are? This book will walk you through modern communications technologies, pros and cons of each, and recommendations to implement a realistic backup communications system. Options reviewed include: - AM\/FM, NOA, FRS\/GMRS and Other Radios - eXRS and Other Unusual Gear - Satellite Phones and Personal Locator Beacons - Amateur Radio - the King of Emergency Communications Using the clear and simple recommendations in this book, you'll be able to reliably communicate with others in your region, without a cell phone, landline service, Internet, or need for grid power. When others can only wonder if their loved ones are safe, you will be able to talk with yours  One area often overlooked in disaster preparedness is the need for communication. Whether it is to let distant loved ones know that all is well, signal for help from a stranded vehicle, or call for emergency medical assistance, the ability to reach out when conventional services have failed is crucial. This book fills an important gap and should be part of everyone's library. -Arthur Bradley, author of Handbook to Practical Disaster Preparedness for the Family For additional emergency communications information, plan templates and other free resources, visit www.EmergencyCommunicationsBlog.com.

Robbie survived the earthquake, but surviving the day after is another story. After learning that his neighbor Katy is injured, alone, and needs help, Robbie ventures out. Neither of them expect that a short trip across the city will turn into a terrifying race for survival. Changes in the urban landscape complicate the journey, but changes in the people make it far worse. This book would be gripping enough from the story alone. That it cleverly illustrates useful emergency preparedness lessons at the same time doubles its value, particularly the importance of communication and thinking ahead. A fun read that delivers great lessons along the way - hard to pull off but nicely done  - H. Ward Silver, Ham Radio for Dummies This fast-paced adventure highlights the importance of preparedness through a compelling tale of good and evil. - Arthur Bradley, PhD, Survivalist Series","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50376853192977,"sku":"CIN0983505322G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324033630481,"sku":"CIN0983505322VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53564514664721,"sku":"NIN9780983505327","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0983505322.jpg?v=1751203108"},{"product_id":"road-home-book-andrew-baze-9780983505303","title":"The Road Home","description":"Robbie thought he was ready for a camping trip in the mountains near Seattle.
