During times of emergency communications, I have at my disposal, 2 way radio with 400+ transmit watts at home and 100+ in mobile for pretty much all modes ranging from 160 meter down to 70 cm bands. If I can hear you, I can talk to you.

"While we have a variety of ways in which we prepare for emergency events, there may be certain times, particularly during emergency situations, when service may be degraded or unavailable.

Don’t forget, you can always contact your provider if you have more questions about these issues."
