Let's see, all you have to do is find a bunch of laptops with 12V

12V power is standard power jack for laptops

a bunch of CB radios with documentation on the mic input,

The docs could be on the CD-ROM. Squad leader or designate
could read that using the laptop.

a soldering iron to make up a mic/laptop interface cable (assuming
you can use the existing mic cable connector).
Shouldn't be too hard.

The only problem left is how to get the abandoned automobile to the
top of the 3 story office building (if any are left standing in this
disaster).
The feed could start at street level and connect to a dipole on the
rooftop.
