Summary

HAM radios can be used for communication during a complete grid down.

The handheld BaoFeng UV-5R is a popular entry level radio, and a great addition to a bug-out bag. A programming cable allows for entry of multiple different programmed frequencies, from a computer running the free CHIRP software.

NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government operated administration that sends out broadcasts every five minutes 24/7 relating to hurricane, storm, solar flare, nuke, and other emergency information.

FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Association. They are one of the frontline government agencies to respond to any large scale disaster with medical care, triage, shelter, food, and other forms of humanitarian aid.
