Here's another item we've added to our bag of tricks.

Those little Motorola radios are a nice addition. We not only have some for the family, but our Neighborhood Watch uses them when we're out on 'patrol'.

If one were stuck in a badly damaged neighborhood a few folks scattered around with a few of those could provide some valuable services to the good citizens of a stricken area.

They're not expensive any more, and I'm not hawking Motorolas because I work for them. Midland makes some nice ones. I've used both and can recommend either.

Again, thanks- I had forgotten how cheap and plentiful two-way radios have become. We tend to rely on cell phones nowadays, but the towers are vulnerable to all sorts of interruptions.
