Survive the End Days
This is my old time favorite! GMRS radios are typically handheld portable devices much
like Family Radio Service (FRS) radios, and share the FRS frequency band near 462 and
467 MHz. Mobile and base station-style radios are available as well, but these are radios to
rely on in a survival situation.

Marine Radio: They are found on all kinds of
boats. They are particularly useful, as they
provide a lot of intelligence on weather alerts,
criminal rates or any other relevant information.
They employ the use of a very high frequency
(VHF) range - between 156 and 162.025 MHz.
Channels to look for: Channel 16 on 156.800
MHz FM is for safety calling and 72 on
156.625 MHz FM for boat preppers.
When you're out on the water, what's the best device to maintain your lifeline to shore?
VHF (Very High Frequency) radios are the two-way radios most commonly used in ship-to-
ship and ship-to-shore communication. They are essential for emergency situations. Most
VHF radios have the ability to scan multiple channels. However this feature will often cut off
part of a communication, which communication may be crucial to your safety. Therefore, it’s
best practice to have two sets on (like a fixed and hand-held) and have one stand by on 16
and another, usually the portable, on 13.

Ham Radio: perhaps the most reliable
communication equipment, which can be
used long range. It can convey graphics,
sounds and texts. Similarly to the GRMS,
these are only to be operated by those
who are FCC licensed. Albeit being one of
the best long range communication
devices, not a lot of people know how to
use the HAM. A lot of ham radios can reach
the national weather system (NOAA)
frequencies. That means that if you have a radio, you can find out what’s going on in
your area. If you have a radio scanner , you can listen to what’s going on with
emergency frequencies as well as any other that the scanner can reach.
A very good friend of mine who, trust me, is in the position to know about radio
transmission, gladly recommended this radio device in case of disaster. Ham radio is the go-
to communication system for pretty much every emergency response system and is what
MARS (the Military Auxiliary Radio System) and ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service)
both use, as well as many search and rescue and other emergency groups .
Below you will find a list of frequencies that will prove valuable to you in the aftermath of
the EMP attack.
