You can still prep by making provisions for water, food, cooking, heating, lighting, medical provision, safety, and plans to evacuate–you just have to be strategic about it.

Key Topics:

• Introduction    
• Analyze your needs
• Put together an apartment emergency kit
• Finding space to stockpile.
• Conclusion

In today's world, it has become very easy to be dependent upon modern technology devices such as cell phones, the internet, social media, and television. For those of us in the prepper community, we must understand that a time may come when these modern conveniences may no longer be a viable resource for communication. 

How will you be able to communicate when your cell phone has no service or the battery is down? Cell phones require working service or the internet and a charged battery to operate. During an emergency, you may need to rely on alternate forms of communication such as amateur radio, family band radios, satellite phones, landlines, or old-fashioned hand-written notes.

In this episode, we will explore the alternative forms of communication that we have available in the event of an emergency! 

Key Topics:

• Social Media
  • Facebook 
  • Google crisis response    
• Mobile Apps
  • Life 360
  • FEMA app
• Cell Phone
• Landline telephone 
• Satellite Phones
• Two-Way radio
• Citizens Band Radio (CB Radio)
• Amateur Radio (HAM Radio)
• Old-fashioned handwritten notes
• Conclusion

• The Family Emergency Communications Plan
