See price on Amazon
Simple radio contact between family members when mobile networks are busy—learn channels and range limits first.
Personal emergency plan
Meeting points and numbers to know
Identify local risks, agree family meeting points, and write down emergency and relative phone numbers. Note who may need extra help (elderly neighbours, young children, people with disabilities).
How to secure the home
Know how to shut off water, electricity, and gas if authorities or common sense require it. Follow official instructions rather than rumours when a crisis unfolds.
