Don’t rely on cell service. Nathan Yearsley from Augason Farms shows how to stay informed and connected when networks fail: self-powered emergency radios for NOAA alerts, FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies for local comms, and satellite messengers for remote coverage. Build a printed family comms plan with an out-of-area contact, meeting points, and key numbers. Pre-install and test apps like Zello and Life360 while you still have signal. Simple gear + clear plan = confident response.
