When disaster strikes, powerlines go down and cell towers fail, how will you reach your loved ones? How will you receive critical updates that could save your life? These aren't hypothetical questions—they're urgent realities that millions face during hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other crisis situations.

Emergency Communication 101 (Adams Media; November 11; $19) addresses this critical gap in disaster preparedness. Co-authored by renowned survival experts Creek Stewart and Joe Bassett, this practical guide transforms complex communication strategies into actionable plans that ordinary people can implement immediately.

Recent disasters have exposed our dangerous over-reliance on fragile communication networks and infrastructure vulnerability. This year alone, millions have been impacted with wildfires, tornados and deadly flooding. In Emergency Communication 101, readers will learn how to effectively communicate with family and first responders, set up an emergency go-to kit, offered ways to power communication tools when the electrical grid has been compromised, the best radios to receive disaster updates and how to create a comprehensive Family Communication Plan. The book offers low-tech solutions that work when high-tech fails.
