Build your family's emergency comms plan

Tell us who's in your household and which radios you have. We'll make a printable plan with your channels, check-in times, meeting points and your local NOAA weather station.

Where you live

Your ZIP code finds your NOAA Weather Radio station.

Household

Phones are optional. Add any radio licenses so we only suggest what you can use.

Radios

Pick the closest type. If you have several of the same radio, set how many. "Weather band" means it can tune NOAA weather channels (162.400–162.550 MHz), often marked WX on the radio or box.

Meeting points

Three places, from closest to farthest.

Out-of-area contact

Someone far enough away that the same outage won't hit them. Everyone reports to this person.

Check-in preferences

Defaults work for most families. Used when you have FRS or GMRS radios.
