Post-Disaster Communications

What would happen if an electromagnetic (EMP) event or attack destroyed our nation’s power grid? According to Peter Vincent Pry of the EMP commission (established in 2001 by Congress), the ensuing hardships could wipe out 90% of America’s population—an outcome based on science, not conspiracy.

Global threats like this, and others, will determine which radios post-disaster survivors employ to help them organize with like-minded others for enhanced security and self-sufficiency. When you finish watching this three-part series, you will know which two-way radios to use for each level of survival organization.

Post-Disaster Communications

Part 1/3 – Two-Way Survival Radios

There is a wide range of handheld, mobile, and HF portable two-way radios for preparedness. Each type will have a unique purpose, and their use will depend on how future survivors organize with like-minded others.

Part 2/3 – The Survivors

We live in an age of handheld electronics, which connect us in ways our ancestors could have never imagined. Yet, we’re far more vulnerable to disaster than they ever were.

Part 3/3 – Survivors and Radios

Who survivors organize with will drive their two-way radio technology needs and decisions. Therefore, understanding which radios serve which survival mission roles is the key to success.
