Have you ever been in an emergency e.g. - flash flood or wildfire? Do you think there are enough paid emergency - personnel to cover every street closure? To spot weather? To relay - information to the media? - - Not everyone lives in the middle of nowhere. Dave, When the Power Goes "Off" for an Hour or More : Then Everyone Lives in the Middle of an Electrical NoWhere : * No{Where} AC for the TV / Radio * No{Where} AC for the Internet / PC * No{Where} AC for the Lights / Heater * No{Where} AC for the Microwave / Coffee Pot * No{Where} AC for the Refrigerator / Stove * No{Where} AC for the Washer / Dryer * * The 'basic' Home Phone may work but the Cordless Phone and Cellphone just might not. The only place most people have with News, Lights and Heat is Setting in their Car or Truck with the Engine Running and that is not good to do in their Garages. {Best Done Outdoors in the Drive Way and Off the Street.} Dave - So it is 'being' a Dip**** to recommended that : "Then Every US Household and Every Car and Truck would have one or all three of these : 1 - Family Radio Service (FRS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service 2 - General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General..._Radio_Service 3 - Citizens' Band (CB) Radio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_band_radio Not everyone is comfortable on a two-way radio. |
