Having an alternative way to reach family and loved ones at these critical moments is essential. With Prepper's Communication Handbook, you learn the best tips, tricks and expert secrets for surviving when phones and the Internet fail.

Exploring the best options for every disaster scenario, this hands-on guide features in-depth coverage on a wide variety of lifesaving emergency communication systems, including:

* Satellite Radio
* Shortwave
* NOAA Receiver
* GMRS and FRS Radios
* Citizen's Band

The focus here is on providing an overview of all the different communication tools out there, allowing you to decide for yourself which ones are best suited for your needs, situation, and experience level.

After discussing the various communication tools available, the focus turns to improving communication skills, such as conflict resolution and interpreting body language. Without these skills, tools are all but useless.
