Submission + - SPAM: Storm communications recommendations for 2024 2

evil_aaronm writes: With the recent storm, Helene, and others sure to follow, impacted areas commonly lose communications with the outside world due to downed telecoms and power line poles. How can local communities, in 2024, keep in touch with outside aid providers to coordinate rescue and aid operations? Are there radio rigs we "concerned citizens" can use to help these communities keep in touch? Things to consider are portability, including power, and operator licensing. For example, how useful are those systems that anyone can buy advertising ranges of 15 or more miles? Would those be on a band that local authorities can receive? Or do we need something more sophisticated?
