This extraordinary video from Julian (OH8STN) explains what you must do for basic communications during times of emergency, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic which has affected approximately 198 countries worldwide. 

Here are some of Julian's observations which may help you prepare for and survive these difficult times:

Hello Operators. Todays topic Ham Radio & emergency communications for families, groups, small communities sheltering in place, bugging in, or planning their own ham radio disaster plan. It's my goal that after watching this video, you'll consider using ham radio communication for your own ham radio disaster preparedness We will go through my ham radio station, radios, tools for group comms, ham radio antenna tower, shack power, js8call, ALE, repeaters, and SELCAL. Many of us around the world are experiencing a self quarantine the past few weeks. it's obvious too many of us now, bugging in or sheltering in place is very different from the disaster preparedness we expected and prepared for. Because of this, there are small groups and communities wishing to learn ham radio emergency communications for disaster preparedness. 73 Julian oh8stn share video link: https://youtu.be/C6IRkG2q3vQ Mentioned in this video: JS8Call http://www.js8call.com NVIS EMCOMM messaging with JS8Call: https://youtu.be/F0TkJJIsY3o HamRing ALE SELCAL for Windows, Linux, Mac: http://www.hamring.com JS8Call Utiities: https://github.com/m0iax/JS8CallUtils...
