Critical Infrastructure? � geoMusings
Wanted to summarize Bill's post earlier this week:
Critical Infrastructure? � geoMusings
if you're looking for the most reliable forms of communications in and after an emergency here in the U.S.0, they appear to be:
1) a land-line telephone
2) your mobile phone's data connection
3) your mobile phone's voice connection
Bill didn't review home broadband connections, but I'm suspect here as well: our Comcast service was down for 8-12 hours on Tuesday after the quake.
So if you're like me and are too cheap to have a land-line in your house, make sure your cell phone has a data plan and you know how to reach the outside world with it -- don't expect to be able to call anybody or for them to call you!
