Beginner Prepper’s Journey: Week 6 – Emergency Communication Strategies
Welcome to February & Week 6: Staying Connected in an Emergency
You made it through the first month of 2025! January was all about building a strong foundation—from mindset to first aid, covering essential aspects of emergency preparedness. If you missed any weeks, now is the time to go back and catch up so you don’t leave gaps in your readiness plan.
Let’s quickly reflect on January’s lessons:
✅ Week 1: Prepping Mindset – Setting the foundation for success.
✅ Week 2: 72-Hour Kit – The essentials to sustain you short-term.
✅ Week 3: Water Preparedness – Storage & purification strategies.
✅ Week 4: Food Stockpiling – Building a long-term emergency food plan.
✅ Week 5: Emergency First Aid – Being medically prepared for any situation.
With these fundamentals in place, February is all about taking preparedness to the next level—starting with Emergency Communication Strategies.
Why Communication is Critical in a Crisis
- Cell networks can fail during disasters—what’s your backup plan?
- Emergency alerts & radios keep you informed when internet service is down.
- Family & community coordination ensures safety and quick action when needed.
Tasks for Week 6
1. Establish Your Emergency Contact Plan
- Create a written list of essential contacts (family, emergency services, neighbors).
- Set up a primary and secondary method of communication (phone, radio, messenger apps).
- Designate a meeting place in case phone service is unavailable.
2. Invest in Emergency Communication Tools
- Two-way radios (FRS/GMRS) – Ideal for local communication when cell towers are down.
- NOAA Weather Radio – Get real-time emergency alerts.
- Satellite Messenger (Garmin InReach, Zoleo) – Works anywhere in case of widespread network failure.
- Backup Power & Chargers – Ensure your devices stay powered.
3. Test Your Communication Plan
- Conduct a drill with your family or preparedness group.
- Send test messages using offline-capable communication apps.
- Try a radio check-in to ensure everyone knows how to operate emergency radios.
4. Stay Informed
- Sign up for local emergency alerts via text and radio.
- Bookmark important websites like FEMA, Red Cross, and your local government’s emergency page.
- Follow trusted preparedness sources for up-to-date information.
