Ham radio is considered the best and most secure form of emergency communications.
This compares all emergency comm device options.
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national association for amateur radio, connecting hams around the U.S. with news, information and resources.
I got my Ham radio license when I was about 10 years old; the old-timers in the room thought it was pretty amusing to see a kid coming in to take the tests. I guess I wasn't your ordinary ten-year+old kid, even back then I was into survival.
Explains why amateur/ham radio is so important to emergency communications and disaster survival. Also tells how to become a ham radio operator!
So if you found yourself in the middle of a wide-scale disaster situation such as a hurricane or other emergency that you had no government coming to help for a while, how would you communicate with your family or others? What would you do if the grid goes down and you wanted to get your family together to help survive?
