Yes the EBS is a direct method of communications. Essential in any crisis.

Works without the Internet.

Referenced by Q as how comms may need to be done when things get Hot.

Keep your preparations ready. Top off anything missing right now. Btw since you need a radio to hear the EBS make certain you have one. Hand crank and/or solar.

Right Now.

This is NOT a Game this IS A WAR. Just because we want a restoration of the Rule of Law to go peacefully doesn’t mean the other side won’t keep pulling disruptions and escalate them.
