In the aftermath of an earthquake, hurricane, tornado, tsunami, landslide or other natural disaster, or even an act of terrorism or some other catastrophic man-made event, communication plays a vital role in man\u2019s survival.<\/p>\n

Prepping With A\u00a0HAM Radio<\/a><\/h2>\n

You may have secured your family in a safe area and your bug out bags have proved useful, but you are going to need contact with other survivors and of course help would be more than welcome.<\/p>\n

Cellphones will\u00a0not work when the cellphone facilities are torn down; the same is true with land-line phones. It would also be logical to assume that power lines are going to be down, as well as the internet in the affected area. This\u00a0is where amateur or HAM\u00a0radio comes in.<\/p>\n

A HAM radio can run on a portable generator or even a car battery, and it doesn\u2019t depend on cell\u00a0phone\u00a0signals\u00a0to be able to communicate with other users. The bottom line is that if you have a HAM\u00a0radio, chances are high that you will be able to find and get help.<\/p>\n

If you are new to the idea of\u00a0HAM\u00a0radios<\/a>\u00a0(as they have become obsolete since the advent of the cell\u00a0phone and the internet), they made rescue operations during Hurricane Katrina and the Sichuan and Haiti earthquakes faster and more efficient. So you\u00a0can imagine what one\u00a0could do for you. Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about prepping with HAM\u00a0radios:<\/p>\n
