It pains me hearing very prominent hams treating emergency preparedness as an issue solvable with shiny new toys.
Here, install this piece of software on your Panasonic Toughbook, grab an HT and go fight a flood/pandemic/earthquake/forest fire.

Preparedness is training competent responders and giving them the tools to make informed decisions in difficult situations, camping one day a year in an air conditioned trailer in front of a rack of radios doesn’t qualify. End of rant.
