You fire up the amateur radio transceiver in your car -- or the one at
home for which you have well-maintained standby batteries.

"When all else fails... There's Amateur Radio."

Amateur Radio was used when the cell-phone towers on top of the World
Trade Center were put out of action. Amateur Radio was used in the
search

areas of Texas with no cell-phone service.

CB radio too, batteries, solar charging. Amateur repeaters will not work
on
battery for long without solar backup.

We can't even buy a candy bar at the local stores
without grid power.
Has anyone seen a backup generator at the local gas station?
