P.S.A. Communication Plan

• Primary (Phone) - VOIP, Email, Text

• Secondary (Satellite) Starlink voice, data, and text

• Auxiliary (Amateur Radio)

  Each member church is encouraged to develop a multi-layered communication strategy to better serve their members and their communities during disasters and emergency situations.

FRS radios are low-power, short-range devices that don’t require a license to operate, making them ideal for neighborhood-level communication. GMRS radios, in contrast, allow for higher transmission power and longer range but require a license. Both services use channels in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) spectrum and share interoperable capabilities, enabling neighbors to communicate efficiently when phone or internet services are down.
