🤦♂️ without communication lines to the outside there is no help coming. After reading your other comments I guess you figure with a cb radio the help will magically appear. I'm done. Have fun
Help won't magically appear, it will appear thanks to the governmentally assigned radios doing the work, not amateur radio.
What needs to happen is local coordination. You need to communicate the information to the people around you and that aint happening if you're the only one with a working radio.
Think of it like this:
Power goes out. I have solar power so my wifi and internet is still on, but nobody else has power.
I can email the governor asking for help, but I can't email my neighbors. I can go on Nextdoor but it's a fucking ghost town because nobody else has power.
I need a way to tell my neighborhood "Relax, help is coming, be at x place at y time for the supply trucks."
The internet aint helping with that, and neither is HAM radio.
