They need a few of my Ham Op buddies.

WIFI can be low power (ie generators) and can be with battery computers systems. Home brew collinear vertical gain type antennas with converted home access point are effective, cheap and simple. From a hilltop, the range can be surprising. Reduce video, more text, with UHF/VHF remote base links from backbone.

Can be done. Does not have to be web based.

Please provide links and info on how-to. Thanks.

I believe you, but can you give an estimate?

[Alas Babylon!]

No electricity, no fuel for generators, no money to buy solar panels... Or radios or antennas...

It is worse than most think.

Still a good option for when/if the SHTF here, but Venezuela is far beyond hope on this.

Amateur Radio can be very useful during emergencies in support of emergency operations providing auxiliary communications or even primary communications for those agencies involved in those operations. Those agencies are assumed to be friendly and not hostile. Most amateur radio equipment will run on 12 volts DC or using adapters for those that run on 9,5,or 3 volts DC. Think car battery and solar panel charger. Lots of car batteries laying around in abandoned cars.

But

You need to be very careful if you are going to use Amateur Radio in an insurrection against any modern military. Stay on the air too long and the military's radio direction finding (RDF) equipment will have the transmitter's location pin-pointed in short order and artillery, anti-radiation missile or unfriendly patrol will soon silence that transmitter.
