I bought a cheap set of the two-way radios to add to the set we already had. My husband works just a couple miles away so he has one and I have one at home. And his parents are within the 16-mile-radius, so they have one too. This was a $19.99 set of radios I picked up at Aldi's in their weekly finds section. There are long-range two-way radios too. I know Best Buy has them. If you go the two-way radio/walkie talkie route, just make sure you have plenty of batteries. If you end up needing these, they'll go batteries fairly quickly.

EDIT: Test them too. The ranges are affected by hills, trees, etc.

We can set up a system of repeaters it's really easy and can be done with most radios

I find Olivia to be very resistant to QRM and QRN and relatively fast depending on bandwidth used. I used ALE400 for unattended text message exchange half way around the world on 20 watts during poor sun conditions (12 time zones and -40 to +70 latitude). There are plenty of new digital modes in MultiPSK (yeah, horrible interface but great software). Get back on and git some!

Take over the local radio tower. Bring gasoline powered generator and try to broadcast once per hour on the hour.
