CE73 Our Achilles’ heel

Losing comms is the first step to losing life… [Image](https://) Greetings Everyday Spy, The average American spends 7 hours and 4 minutes in front of a screen every single day. Cell phones, laptops, smart TVs… Everything we use to work, study, and play is interconnected. It’s safe to say that we take our comms for granted. Especially after COVID forced us all to go remote… But events over the last decade have proved that our reliance needs to change immediately. From natural disaster to targeted foreign attacks – our comms have been under threat for a long time. We can see the devastating effects of comms failures today in the Israel-Hamas War. Gaza has suffered from multiple black-outs since the start of the war. This week, Gaza went completely dark as Israeli forces raided Gaza City. With phones and internet down, all hell broke loose. - First responders were unable to coordinate resources. - Journalists weren’t able to report timely and accurately. - Everyday citizens were forced to fend for themselves. And the Great Texas Freeze of 2021 is an excellent domestic example. Record low temperatures wiped out the local power grid, creating a cascade of destruction. With the power out, phones went down. With phones down, those in need couldn’t contact emergency services. The cascade of system failures also resulted in food shortages, supply chain issues, and between 200–700 people dead. The scary truth is that we are woefully unprepared for a massive comms black-out. And it WILL result in needless death and destruction. That’s why elite military, intelligence, and mercenary groups [build a robust comms plan]( that ensures constant contact, no matter what happens. It works for them, which means it will work for you too. [I give you a detailed communications plan]( that can be used anywhere, anytime in Escaping Disaster. You don’t want to be caught in the worst-case scenario without a working plan. Because losing contact is the first step to losing life.
