What are your plans for communications in an emergency situation? This should be a question asked in any emergency preparedness plan whether it's for your family, office, warehouse, shop, hospital, stadiums or other large event gatherings, church, schools, etc...
Those who watch the news will quickly begin to understand how important communications are during emergencies. Floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and many other situations can crop up suddenly and without warning. One would be wise to prepare beforehand with an adequate plan.
