MISSION STATEMENT:
WE AS HAM RADIO OPERATORS HAVE A DUTY, THAT DUTY IS TO DO WHAT NO ONE ELSE CAN DO AND THAT IS TO COMMUNICATE, RELAY INFORMATION, SET UP THE EMERGENCY NETWORKS WHEN EVERY OTHER TYPE OF COMMUNICATION HAS FAILED, TO USE OUR OWN EQUIPMENT, AND FINALLY SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S PEOPLE IN TIME OF NEED.
BY ZACH KC9CLR
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOUR SELF.
HAVE A PLAN. REMEMBER (K.I.S.S) KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.
ALWAYS HAVE A SMALL WIND UP OR BATTERY POWERED SHORT WAVE RADIO ON HAND THIS IS ALMOST THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU CAN HAVE ON YOU DURING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
HAVE PLENTY OF NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AND BOTTLE WATER. HAVE ENOUGH TO LAST A MINIMUM OF TWO WEEKS.
MOST LIKELY IN A SEVERE STATE OF EMERGENCY ECONOMY WILL NOT BE AT IT'S BEST, SO IT WOULD BE A WISE IDEA TO HAVE GOLD TO TRADE FOR FOOD, GAS, GUNS OR BASIC SUPPLIES. CASH WILL MOST LIKELY BE WORTHLESS.
SET UP A GOOD COMMUNICATION PLAN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU SHOULD NOT BASE ALL COMMUNICATION ON THE TELEPHONE OR CELL PHONES. DURING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY THOSE SYSTEMS WILL MOST LIKELY BE KNOCKED OUT. HAVE A BASIC TRANSCEIVER WHETHER ITS A BASIC CB RADIO, FRS 14 CHANNEL HANDHELD RADIO, OR IF YOU ARE LICENSED YOU CAN HAVE A HAM RADIO. NEXTEL IS NOT A BASIC RADIO IT WILL NOT WORK DURING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, IT WORKS OFF CELL TOWERS. BEST BET IS TO GET YOUR AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING AND KNOW HOW TO HANDLE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ON THE RADIO. HAM RADIO IS THE ONLY "FAIL SAFE" WAY OF COMMUNICATION IN THE WORLD. REMEMBER WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS THERE'S ALWAYS HAM RADIO.
IF SOMETHING SO SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS THAT WOULD FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO DECLARE A STATE OF "MARTIAL LAW", IT WOULD BE ALMOST IDIOTIC TO SIT HOME AND WAIT FOR THE BEST. GET OUT OF THE LARGELY POPULATED AREAS, IT WOULD BE WISE ESPECIALLY I F YOU LIVE IN ILLINOIS TO HEAD WEST. WHY WEST? FIRST OF ALL THE WIND HEAD INTO THE WIND INCASE OF POTENTIAL BIO OR CHEMICAL ATTACK. ALWAYS TAKE BACK ROADS TO GET OUT OF A LARGELY POPULATED AREA, NEVER TAKE MAIN ROUTES, BY DOING THAT YOU WOULD BE AN IDIOT.
DON'T PANIC!!! WHAT EVER YOU DO, DON'T PANIC JUST USE BASIC COMMON SENSE AND YOUR OWN INTUITION AND YOU WILL BE FINE. REMEMBER ONCE YOU START TO PANIC YOU HAVE JUST BECOME ANOTHER MINDLESS IDIOT UNPREPARED JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, DON'T BE LIKE THAT. IN THE EVENT OF PREPARATION YOU MUST PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY BE READY FOR WHAT'S TO COME, YOU MUST FACE REALITY THIS IS NOT A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE THIS IS VERY REAL.
WHEN TO MOVE OUT? AFTER THE GOVERNMENT HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ATTACK, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY MOVE OUT AND I DON'T MEAN TO YOUR BUDDIES HOUSE THE NEXT TOWN OVER, BUT GET THE HELL OUT OF THE STATE OR AT LEAST 100 MILE FROM WERE THE ATTACK HAD TAKEN PLACE! EVEN IF YOU ARE IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STATE FROM WERE IT HAPPENED REMAIN ON ALERT AND HAVE AT LEAST A HALF OF TANK OF GAS IN YOUR CAR AT ALL TIMES. GO OUT TO A RURAL AREA.1. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE AS MANY ROUTES OUT AS POSSIBLE. First, plan several places to go. For a family, a meeting place is a must. One just outside your home (like you should already have in case of a house fire), one in your neighborhood, one outside your neighborhood (in case of major destruction), one in a well known place just inside your city and one outside your city. THIS WAY everyone can move from place to place - leaving notes behind with instructions - and hopefully, picking up everyone on the way. Second, you need to know where it is you will go. Your SAFE PLACE can be a cabin, a campsite, a relatives home, another home you own or lease or another piece of property. {We have two places - both on the other side of the mountains from us - that we can go to that we either own or are purchasing. We have campsites on the west side of the mountains and will know different routes to all the places} Third, the routes have to be traveled using different modes. Can't drive your car because roads are out? Ride a bike/horse. Can't ride? Walk. Routes have to take in whether they have bridges (which are vulnerable to collapse during earthquake, mud-slides, floods etc.) . If they become impassable - is there another way? Even if you then have to ride a bike or walk? Think ahead to what and how much you can carry and good carrying carts, packs etc. 2. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE ROUTES TO SAFE-PLACES IN THE CITY IF you plan to stay in town. People with small children may have little choice considering on the emergency.
WHO TO TRUST? IN THIS CASE, ALMOST NO ONE. PEOPLE ARE VERY WEIRD IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND LIKE TO GET FREE HELP, FOOD AND A RIDE. (IN MOST CASES PEOPLE CANNOT HANDLE EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WELL, PEOPLE DEPEND ON OTHERS TO HELP THEM AND ARE TOTALLY IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SURVIVING WITHOUT ELECTRICITY, WITH MASS PANIC AND CONFUSION AND CANNOT COPE WITH TERRIBLE EVENTS AND THEY END UP BREAK DOWN AND CRYING AND HOPE FOR THE BEST ) AT THE MOST GIVE STRANGERS LITTLE INFO AND MOVE ON DON'T TRUST ANY ONE BUT FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR SOME HAMS.
WHAT IS THE MOST AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CITY? 30 MINUTES - 2 HOURS BEFORE IT IS UNDER FEMA LOCKDOWN. STANDBY AND LISTEN TO THE RADIO FOR THE LATEST WORD.
WATCH OUT FOR LOOTERS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANY THING TO TAKE AND REMEMBER, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
HOPE TO GOD THIS NEVER HAPPENS! BUT, IN A EVENT OF A NUKE ATTACK YOUR ELECTRONICS ARE WORTHLESS, YOUR CAR IS WORTHLESS (UNLESS MADE BEFORE 1980), BUT POTASSIUM IODIDE ISN'T, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE SOME, BUT IF YOU DON'T, BUY SOME, IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS WELL WORTH IT. IT IS ABOUT 24 TO 36 DOLLARS A BOTTLE, HAVE AT LEAST 2 OR 3 BOTTLES OF THIS STUFF IN YOUR HOME AND CAR. ALSO YOU WILL NEED A NBC GAS MASK OR 2.
BUT FINALLY, YOU HAVE A SURVIVAL PACK MADE UP WITH ALL ESSENTIALS YOU NEED TO SURVIVE. BELOW IS A LIST OF 25 ITEMS YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO LIVE.
