I've been reading post after post here about what to carry, what to buy, where to stash your gear. What's missing is the pre-planning aspects of your survival.

What routes will be open for you? Short term ( getting home) and long term?

How will your family contact you? And if that method doesn't work?

What media channels will you use for useful information? What will you do beyond 72 hours? How can you help others?

Interesting questions to consider...
