The range of two-way radios is amazing, and they can take your voice to your loved ones and your community in any disaster. These radios have an amazing battery; they are lightweight and can fit easily in the bag of any survivalist.

Flares

Talk about a disaster that takes away all the communication networks and devices that operate on electrical signals; what will you do in such a case? The thing about real calamities is that it will stop us from using ANY of the modern communication devices if one occurs. Preppers can use flares for proper communication in such a case. Flares were used in the past for communication when computers didn’t exist. Flares don’t require you to learn any specific skills, and they are not costly either. Using flares, you can communicate with people over long ranges and send signals to ensure that everyone’s safe.
