Re: your last comment, I’d think some old style land line BBS (bulletin board system) nodes would do the trick too.

We need to create a sticky file and fill it with SHTF info, so we can download and print the instructions if the internet goes dark.

I obtained my amauteur license because one day AT&T landlines and wireless and internet all went down for about 4 hours. I did not know if a nearby shared tower had been knocked over or what.
I was concerned that if I had chest pains, I could not call 911 (although I was assured that my phone would go to MAX power and another carrier would catch my call. Maybe.)

Having a legal 2 meter/70 cm mobile unit cured me of the “disconnected” phobia. I added HF because that was more interesting than the local conversations.
