As the cell phone service outage winds up, people and agencies should be starting to ask themselves, "What's my backup plan?" "Do I have a backup plan?"

There are a few options available. In today's event, switching to WiFI calling was an option for those who had internet access through their home or business wireless systems. But what if the Internet goes down?

Radios systems will work, as long as the tower sites are not tied together through the public Internet.

The answer is a radio network that doesn't require the Internet, can run on batteries or generator power as needed, and is easily accessible. What system is this, you ask?

Amateur Radio. When all else fails, Amateur Radio comes through.
