Set Up PACE Comms for Survival

Grpahic: accreditedschoolsonline.org

Communications and how you have planned to use them in a disaster can make all the difference between surviving and/or seeing your family or group make it through together. Presetting comms is a priority prep.

Right now, most of use a primary unit for our comms solutions. We are going to explore the idea of PACE communications. This is an acronym that will assist you and your group in any SHTF scenario.

So, let’s talk about the four layers of urban survival comms. Primary, Alternate, Contingency and emergency. We should all have an answer for each layer of communication. Everything could depend upon it.

Primary

Your main system of communications. For the majority of Americans, we are talking about cell phones. They are the most effective and most advanced form of communications on the market. It would be wise to consider this your primary.

Alternate

Upon the failure of your cellphone network, your phone will not necessarily become useless. You will be able to use things like the GoTenna to create a network of your own. This is incredibly valuable and is a great alternate plan. Some folks also put land lines in this category fearing cell towers would go down prior to the elimination of land line facilities.

Contingency

When the cellphones die, or you cannot recharge them you will need another option. This should be something like short wave radios or longer-range radios that can be shared between family members. You might even include a HAM radio as your contingency.

Emergency

By now things are chaotic, and you are now dealing with whatever is left. You should have a means of local comms that could be as archaic as telegrams or smoke signals. How far you can reach will depend on the level of preparation you made before the disaster.

Considering each level of PACE comms is imperative. Have you thought about each category?
