Puerto Rico is one of the countries that experience more hurricanes in the world. It is located in the center of the hurricane zone. In September 2019, Tropical Storm Karen brought flooding and strong winds to Puerto Rico. Hurricane Maria, which made landfall with Category 5 in September 2017, was immediately regarded as the worst natural disaster in Puerto Rico's history. This is the 10th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. In 2017 when the hurricane hit the island we were without communication for a long time. In the hurricane, all phone antennas were down or destroyed. In such an emergency situation, what is available for communications that work in case of an emergency?

The answer is a walkie-talkie, because the walkie-talkie does not rely on any network and relies on electromagnetic waves in the air to transmit signals so that in an emergency, all the antennas are collapsed or destroyed, and the radio talk is still unaffected. This is why the walkie-talkie is the main communication tool for natural disaster rescuers, not mobile phones.
Today we introduce a GMRS Radio Communications Set that can be used as a communication tool in emergency situations. Ensure that you can communicate with the outside world as soon as possible after a natural disaster occurs without a mobile phone signal.
