Emergency Communications and Identifying Your Local Threats

When cell service fails, how will you reach your family? Mark and Krista explore emergency communication options, including two-way radios, ham radio, satellite messengers, and the importance of a good antenna. Then, learn how to identify local threats beyond severe weather, find reliable information, and sign up for emergency alerts. Build a practical household plan based on the risks that matter most where you live, work, and travel.
