FRS Mini-Series Finale: Where FRS Fits in Your Family Communication Plan

---

Season 3 Episode 8

---

FRS radios are a great start, but they aren't the whole plan. They work for kids, neighbors, and short-range use — but when the storm hits or the grid goes down, you may need more.

In this episode, Caleb Nelson (K4CDN) explains how FRS fits into a complete family communication plan, including:

• The strengths and limits of FRS radios

• How GMRS, MURS, and ham radio build on that foundation

• Why thinking in layers — the Cascade Protocol — makes families stronger

• How National Preparedness Month is the right time to move from gear to plan

FRS is a tool worth having, and combined with clarity, it's what keeps families connected.
