HAM RADIO FOR AN EMERGENCY
In the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic disaster, standard communication lines may go dark. Cell service and internet access will likely be completely unavailable. HAM radio is the solution. Operating entirely independent of traditional power grids and cell towers, it is the only guaranteed way for your neighborhood’s Safe Hub to request medical aid, report localized damage, and stay connected with city emergency officials.
Anyone can learn to operate a HAM radio, but it requires a bit of training and an official license. The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national authority on amateur radio and the perfect place to begin your journey. Visit the ARRL to find beginner study materials, locate nearby examination sessions, and learn how to operate emergency frequencies. Step up to be your community’s communication link and get licensed today.
