Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Stay away from windows and objects that may fall. After the shaking stops, use a safe exit and follow official alerts.
Channel 1 is recommended as a shared, easy-to-remember meeting channel. Availability may vary by area; listen first and always give priority to emergency traffic.
Compliant PMR446 handheld radios generally do not require an individual license. Transmitting on amateur bands requires authorization and a call sign.
Store batteries in a cool, dry place, recharge regularly, and keep compatible spare batteries or a safe backup power source in your emergency bag.
Do not share home addresses or sensitive personal locations on open channels. In an emergency, share only the necessary, describable location briefly with trusted parties.
A radio can provide short-range alternative communication when phone networks fail. Include backup power, a quick-use note, and your family channel plan.
It is a short plan defining where family members will meet, whom they will contact, and which alternative communication methods they will use after a disaster.
Listen first, state the call name, wait for a response, then communicate who, where, and what is needed in short sentences. Request a read-back.
