I mentioned this in my post the other day but want to call it out for greater exposure.
As far as I know this originates in a 2013 post at the RadioMaster Reports blog.
Essentially, it's a basic communications plan explaining when, where, and how to use your radios in the event of an emergency where other forms of communication fail.
- Turn on your radio every 3 hours at the top of the hour local time.
- For a minimum of 3 minutes.
- On Channel 3 (whether it's CB, FRS, GMRS, or MURS).
That RadioMaster Post has reference cards you can download and print, or keep in the notes application on your phone.
Buytwowayradios.com sells a printout of the plan which is laminated, and also offers a PDF download version for free.
Disseminating this procedure among the people you plan to communicate with if the SHTF will go a long way to maximizing the value of your radios.
