Yes, Citizen's Band radio. Channel 9 is constantly monitored for Emergencies.
And don't confuse CB with Ham Radio. Any anon can have a CB.
Last month Verizon cell service went down for about 5 hours in a large swath of the Northeast. It was addressed on the news & the millions of affected users were told they should go to their nearest fire station if you had an emergency.
Imagine having a heart attack, asthma attack, etc & having to drive to the nearest fire station!
Channel 9 ensures you'll have a way to reach emergency services even if you only have a cell phone (like me & tons of others … no home phone)
You can get one for a very reasonable price. I bought mine at Walmart…it plugs in the car lighter but got a converter (less than 2 dollars) so it can be used in the house.
Get Equipped now before they would be scarce in a disaster, internet or phone outage or 10 days of darkness!!
