We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
In the wake of Helene, recent CA fires, recent cellphone outages, etc., I was asked about establishing communications plans for families and groups using radios. IMHO, one should start with GMRS with the expectation of getting a technician class amateur radio license. These two licenses will ensure an ability to communicate in the event of disaster or cellphone breakdown/overload.
Before I start, you may want to take a look at a blog by Kevin Macaraeg of ICOM America on the differences between VHF/UHF. The characteristics of these frequency ranges should be considered when building a solution. Link: https://blog.icomamerica.com/2021/11/17/differences-between-vhf-and-uhf/
There are "free" and no license spaces in these radio spectrums. Information on these can be found as follows:
Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) is a channelized VHF service: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/multi-use-radio-service-murs
Family Radio Service (FRS) is a channelized (low power) UHF service: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/family-radio-service-frs
Whether you choose to (or not) pursue an amateur radio license, I would encourage you to get a General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) license [Link: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs]. This is a channelized UHF service allowing more power, detachable antennas, and repeater functions. It does share channels with FRS which allows a GRMS operator to communicate with users of blister pack FRS radios when needed.
I would strongly encourage pursuing at technician class amateur radio license at a minimum. Here's the FCC site: https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/bureau-divisions/mobility-division/amateur-radio-service.

There a number of apps to aid in studying. Once you consistently pass the practice tests, start studying the next higher class until you go to testing. If you pass the technician class test, take the general. If you pass the general (even if you have not studied for it), take the extra exam.

Trump's war on Iran is causing Gulf states to reassess their relationship with the U.S. and look to diversify their foreign partnerships:
"Many believe he dragged the Gulf into a war shaped heavily by Israel, without sharing a plan and acting hastily and without fully weighing the political and economic fallout for allies."
The U.S. is simply torching its diplomatic leverage for Israeli interests.

AI as it is currently understood is not mere technology, but a system of total technological domination over the public. Just as institutions and people have already ceded too much of cyberspace to the cloud, we are in danger of offering even more of our lives and society on the altar of centralized computing. The ‘singularity’ was never to be an economic or technological boon, but rather the mere collapse of society under the weight of digital totalitarianism. Naked human dominance and tyranny was the face behind the techno-utopian mask. A generation was evicted from the ideal of home ownership by the combination of a variety of economic and social forces, it would seem that the same is taking place in cyberspace. ‘Hardware is the new homes’, as the public becomes priced out of securing a modest home server.

Iran War Hits Cyber, Food, Energy: Stryker Cyberattack, India Fertilizer Stoppage
Iran's escalating war is now striking on multiple fronts: massive cyber wiper attacks + real-world food and energy disruptions:
-
Handala (Iran-linked)'s cyberattack on Stryker wiped data from 200,000 devices, halting operations. India's fertilizer production stopped due to LNG shortages, right before planting season.
-
Fuel rationing hits West Australia (emergency-only sales) and Bangladesh, while Vietnam, South Korea, and Pakistan impose work-from-home, price caps, and austerity measures like 4-day work weeks.
This isn't hypothetical anymore—cyber pandemic warnings from IBM/WEF-linked reports are playing out alongside engineered shortages impacting global rice, wheat, cotton, and sugar supplies. The technocrats are engineering crises, managing perceptions as they cast blow after blow on supply chains. Start gardening now!
