My point is when you don’t have those things, a FREE app on your phone can be lifesaving.
You have people in South Florida right this minute who bore the brunt of a category 4 hurricane and they are on Zello as we speak broadcasting info and answering other people who need help in real time.
Thousands are also listening to that channel in real time.
I’m not saying replace what you already have with Zello. I’m telling you and anyone one else who will listen what an amazing tool it is.
Actually, I do need them and for much more than just disasters. And just because some folks still have connectivity in a hurricane certainly does not mean that is always the case. And this tells me those still connected likely did not take the full potential this hurricane was capable of.
Look if ya feel a cell phone or tablet is better or will give you better and more reliable communication in a pending disaster, than a portable, all band general coverage receiver, have at it, no problem! ☺☺☺
I’m sure that it’s proven useful for a lot of people this weekend, and I’m glad to have it. Thanks for telling us about it.
