Communicating in a Crisis

Part one of our Family Communication Series

You wake up one morning and the power is off. Out of habit, you click on the TV, but the screen remains black. Your computer turns on but doesn’t connect to the internet. Your cordless phone is dead. Your mobile phone has service, but you can’t connect with anyone. Hopefully, you can hear news using a battery-powered radio. But, what if the news is bad? Help won’t come for days. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), either natural or manmade, could shut down power for months.
