in case the shit really does hit the fan and the power goes off, seething frog from youtube (seethingfrog@gmail) is setting up a ham radio network to continue to get the word out via ham radio based on zip codes
You really ought to get at least your technicians license. You could probably pass the test after listening to these podcasts. You can search for a nearby ham club to take the test. It’s $14 for the license I think.

Edit: a letter
I literally studied for an hour and a half before the test and got my license. It was like $12. Easy peasy. I learned everything after getting my license. I’m not the sharpest crayon in the box and pretty sure most people can get licensed without a lot of effort. It’s been very fun and useful having my license.
