We must have in plce comms systems utterly divorced from technology as technology is the weak link, set aside my bias towars two way radios because IMHO they are woefully inadequate there are other issues that could make them useless or dangerous, Crap weather ( common in the UK) limits range and effectiveness, EMP could toast them, Atmospheric interference, winter storms, JAMMING by a twat with a bigger transmitter, being triangulated by bad guys etc etc.
Radios do most certainly have a very useful role to play in comms after TSHTF mainly on a very local basis, but I think it would be the height of folly to rely on radios.
I think couriers, dead letter drops, regular rendezvous, frequent group meetings, perhaps even pigeon messengers should be the failsafe comms systems for us after TSHTF.
Homing Ferrets anyone?
