When All Else Fails... 📻⚡

September is National Preparedness Month, a timely reminder that emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime. When severe weather hits or power grids and cellular networks go down, one communication channel remains steadfast: Amateur Radio.

Through organized emergency networks like the Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®), licensed volunteers provide crucial backup communications to first responders, local emergency managers, and neighbors in need.

How can you get prepared this month?

✅Build a Kit: Include a battery- or hand-crank powered emergency radio.
✅Make a Plan: Establish a family communication strategy for when phone lines are overloaded.
✅Get Involved: Discover how easy it is to earn your amateur radio license and join a network of trained volunteers in your area!
