Stay Safe With Two-Way Radios In Emergency Situations

Two-way radios can help keep your family safe during an emergency situation. Because disasters strike with little warning, they can cause panic, causing families to become separated. Whether it's a storm, flood, earthquake, or tornado, staying in touch can be a matter of life and death.

Before an emergency hits, put together a plan. Add 2-way radio handsets to your 72 hour survival kits, along with extra batteries. Decide which channel to use for communicating and make sure everyone knows it. Then practice what everyone should do when an emergency strikes. By following the plan, your family members can remain connected through any emergency.

Lightweight and easy to carry, walkie-talkies or two way radios are perfect for everyday communication and for keeping your family safe during emergency situations.

Remember a 72 Hour kit is for the purpose of surviving. It can not have all the luxuries that we would sometimes like, but it needs to have the items necessary. Therefore an easy carrying backpack is ideal. It will not allow you to pack more than you can carry, but if you plan well, there is enough room to hold the necessary items to survive.

Each person needs to have their own kit. It is possible that family members could get separated, and each member needs to have some supplies with them personally. If walking, a child would not be able to carry very much for a very long period of time, but does need to have some items that would help them survive. A larger, more extensive family kit may be added to your preparations, but should be kept separate from the 72 Hour individual kit that is expected to be carried.
