Brian of S&B Homestead Radio joins John Rush and co-host Bill Anderson for a practical look at one of the most overlooked parts of preparedness: emergency communications. Brian introduces PACE planning—Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency—and explains why every family should have multiple ways to communicate when normal systems fail. From inexpensive handheld radios and GMRS neighborhood networks to ham radio, repeaters, predetermined meeting locations, and monitoring local emergency traffic, you'll discover why simply owning a radio isn't enough. Is it charged? Does your family know which frequency to use? Have you ever practiced with it? Brian warns against becoming a "checklist prepper" whose emergency equipment sits unused until the moment it's desperately needed. Then John and Bill expand the lesson beyond communications. Preparedness is a mindset, not a reaction to the latest crisis. Whether it's winter weather, food, water, first aid, finances, generators, communications, or even having your estate affairs in order, the time to prepare is before circumstances force your hand.
