SHTF Cross-Country Comms Prepping for Doomsday

I live on the west coast while my brother and his family are in New England. What's my best option for comms? Want it to be portable. Money isn't an issue. Please help with recommendations.

Think Sat cells will be reliable in a global SHTF scenario?

for a few years, sure. as long as the companies maintaining them keep supporting them

never know. They could just decide to shut them down at the momment they cannot get $

A fair range of SHTF situations would include "the satellites have been EMPed/shot down", "the billing office is a smoking crater", " the billing office is deserted for weeks", and "satellites are now a national strategic resource".
