08 Feb 2022Communications For Preppers00:11:55

Send us a text

In This Episode:

In today's world, it has become very easy to be dependent upon modern technology devices such as cell phones, the internet, social media, and television. For those of us in the prepper community, we must understand that a time may come when these modern conveniences may no longer be a viable resource for communication. 



How will you be able to communicate when your cell phone has no service or the battery is down? Cell phones require working service or the internet and a charged battery to operate. During an emergency, you may need to rely on alternate forms of communication such as amateur radio, family band radios, satellite phones, landlines, or old-fashioned hand-written notes.


In this episode, we will explore the alternative forms of communication that we have available in the event of an emergency! 

Key Topics:

  • Social Media
    • Facebook 
    • Google crisis response    
  • Mobile Apps
    • Life 360
    • FEMA app
  • Cell Phone
  • Landline telephone 
  • Satellite Phones
  • Two-Way radio
  • Citizens Band Radio (CB Radio)
  • Amateur Radio (HAM Radio)
  • Old-fashioned handwritten notes

  • Analyze your needs
  • Put together an apartment emergency kit

Start an Emergency Food Pantry

On This Episode:

For Centuries, food pantries were an essential space in every household. Weekly trips to the market were impractical or impossible, and families relied on their pantries to get them through the lean winter months.

Today, most people live a short drive away from the grocery store, so organizing a home food pantry might seem unnecessary.

One of the biggest benefits of a home food pantry is that it enables you to prepare for short- and long-term emergencies. There are many scenarios that could make it difficult or impossible to go to the grocery store.

It’s important to realize that food shortages can happen anywhere, at any time, even if your area is not experiencing an emergency. Most grocery stores only have enough food on hand to meet the needs of their community for three days, sometimes even less. If something happens to disrupt the food supply chain, this means that your local market could run out of food very quickly.

In this episode, we’ll discuss how you can start your emergency food pantry!

Key Topics:
                                                                                                       Time Stamp:

  • Where to stockpile your food                          (02:36)
  • Track What you eat                                                 (03:31)
