Creating a Prepper Communications Plan
When creating a prepper communications plan, it’s essential to identify a chain of command and emergency contact numbers. This includes assigning a primary contact person, a secondary contact person, and a backup contact person in case the primary contact is unavailable. Designate this information on a single page or card, making it easy to carry in a wallet or purse.
Selecting Communication Methods
Choose communication methods that are reliable and accessible, such as a two-way radio, a satellite phone, or a messaging app on a smartphone. Consider the potential for power outages or network disruptions and select methods that don’t rely on electricity. For example, a two-way radio can be powered by batteries, allowing for communication even in the absence of electricity.
Implementing a Messaging System
Develop a messaging system that allows family members to quickly and easily communicate with each other in an emergency. This can include a simple phrase or code word that indicates the need for communication, such as “Code Red” to indicate a family member needs assistance. Establish a protocol for messaging, including the frequency and duration of messages, to ensure that family members stay informed and connected.
