Emergency Radio
Communications by Caleb Watts
Emergency Radio Communications by Caleb Watts is a vital
book for those who want an effective radio plan but lack the necessary
information regarding the rules and regulations. This information is critical
to avoid significant fines by the Federal Communications Commission. This book
covers pros and cons of FRS, GMRS, CB, MURS and amateur radio. Also, included
are specific radio recommendations and a comprehensive sample emergency
communications plan that you can modify for your specific needs. Having an
emergency communications plan is not optional; it is mandatory. Many preppers
and other preparedness minded individuals state that they are lacking a usable
communications plan. It has been proven time and time again that your cell
phone is not a reliable form of communication when a disaster strikes.
Emergency Radio Communications by Caleb Watts will get you up and running so
that you will have a viable plan and understand the rules of the communication
system that you choose. If you do not have a communications plan when a
disaster strikes you will be left in the dark. You may not know where family
members are and will not be able to effectively communicate with them. This is
not a good place to be and it is completely avoidable. Having a plan can
provide peace of mind. Emergency Radio Communications by Caleb Watts is an
essential part of your communications gear.
