Creating An Emergency Communication Plan For Your Neighborhood

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.
