Communications Pack
Stay informed when the network goes quiet.
What this pack solves
Mobile masts run on the same grid you do. In a prolonged outage, mobile data and broadband can both disappear.
Why it matters
Radio broadcasts keep working, and offline notes and short-range radios keep a household coordinated when texts won't send.
Preparedness checklist
- Wind-up or solar radio tested this year
- Local BBC radio frequency written down
- Power bank reserved for phones only
- Waterproof notepad for messages
- Walkie talkies charged if household is spread out
- Emergency contacts printed on paper
