This book is the first of a series helping you be prepared to be able to take care of yourself or family during an emergency whether it last for less than a day, several days or even longer. Having spent several years as a volunteer first responder with Emergency Management where I lived, I saw first hand how people were affected when natural disasters such as a tornado, ice storm, or a flood to name just a few.
Doing a little planning up front can save a lot of problems when dealing with the situation will be a lot harder. In this volume of the series, I will cover several things in the area of communications using a combination of items such as FRS/GMRS, Satellite Radio, Amateur Radio and even cell phones in a way that you probably havent heard of before.
The only thing that is worse than doing only a little planning is doing no planning at all.
NOTE: This book was updated on 7/11/15 to reflect Google Project Fi and multiple scanners as tools for communication options.
