How will you recharge your batteries for your walkie-talkies/Ham radio/shortwave radios when the grid is down? This may be for the long haul.
The power grid is down, which means that even if cellphone towers are working, your cellphones are useless as soon as you run out of charge. There is no place to charge your rechargeable AA or AAA or other rechargeable batteries for your walkie talkies, radios, or other vital communication or receiver devices. There may be no gas for gas-powered generators, and these are noisy and cannot be used indoors.
What are you going to do? Relax. Your preparedness community is in touch, whether out on patrol or in your homes.
