i also agree that someone in Amateur Radio would be a good friend to have.

We enjoy your posts. But i dont think that you should count on anyone here being a contact, if things really do go wrong. Later, when people are in recovery mode, ETS can link up again.

Your best support is local. Get good working relationships going with ... 1. People who grow vege's and raise livestock, 2. Someone who fixes cars, 3. A nurse or a paramedic, 4. Someone who works with tools or in construction, 5. A dentist, 6. An ex-soldier who has some rifles and handguns.

Those types of things will save you.

Good luck!!

I came to that conclusion soon after the only solution was presented. Do a head count after the lights are back on.

Hopefully when each of us is dealing with a disastrous situation, the info imparted by ETS will come in handy as we survive. When dealing with the consequences of an earthquake, fire, hurricane, or other problem, there is no time, and probably not the ability, to confer with ETSers.
