WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU BUY MORE.
Keep the plan simple. You need a way to receive official information, written contacts and a local voice option if mobile service is patchy.
Keep a receive path
Battery radio gives you information without the internet.
Write the important numbers
Power, family, neighbours, care contacts and insurance details.
Choose a meeting point
Agree what happens if phones cannot connect.
Use PMR446 locally
Useful for household/neighbourhood coordination, with range limited by terrain/buildings.
