Sorry, i couldn't think of a better title. Because I live on the west coast and have family in the midwest and east coast, I've been thinking about how we would communicate and/or reunite if some sort of disaster disrupted power, conventional communication, etc., especially for an extended period. I don't even want to think about how i would communicate with my relatives in europe. I know the likelihood of something like this happening is very low, but the thought of not being able to communicate with family/friends is disturbing. It seems having a plan in place, even a very basic plan like how long to wait, and who will attempt to reach who, is important. How many of you have similar situations with family/relatives living far away and do you have a plan in place?
