Meshtastic / Disaster.radio / LoRa ?
Is anyone currently playing with, or is interested in creating a wireless network in the area to facilitate communication in the event of a disaster? There are these cheap, low power devices (about $20 or less) that can be programmed to communicate with others over very long distances, sending small messages, akin to SMS text message size. I was able to connect to people up to 23 miles away at my last house with this technology (via a Helium miner). The two most popular programs are Disaster.radio (https://disaster.radio/) and Meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org/). You basically put the device in an area where it has decent line-of-sight to someone else's device, and can chat to others via an Android/iPhone app that connects to the radio via bluetooth. This could be useful in general outdoor situations as well, where there is no cell phone service.

Communication reccomendations
I would also recommend taking a look at Meshtastic. It's an off-grid communicator that doesn't require a HAM license. It uses the unlicensed (open) 915MHz ISM band (for the US and Canada). Even though the output power is capped at 1 watt it can still reach distances as far as 50 miles (with line of site). I have personally tested it out to 12 miles using two handheld nodes. Oh, it's encrypted too. You can have a private channel with your team. It's also easy to setup fixed nodes to bridge areas that lack line of site (like a solar node on a hill).

anyone know how to flash these stupid heltecs?
After getting ESP Home Flasher, just download the pack of firmware from https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-device/releases/download/v1.2.60.ab959de/firmware-1.2.60.ab959de.zip unzip the folder and choose .bin file for Heltec and whatever version your board is (probably 2.1) in the flasher app.

I read a TEOTWAWKI book where the characters used an app to communicate in a grid (and network) down scenario. Turns out that’s a real thing.
