Wildman, I will be very interested in what you might develop. I have been using your various *con lists as a model for a document I am putting together titled "Emergency Communications: Standards and Techniques".

It is pointed at two audiences. The Amateur Radio Operator planning a deployment (Red Cross, ARES etc.) and the operator that is not interested in emergency communications but finds him/herself in a disaster situation.

I have been doing that sort of stuff for over 50 years now and it is time to pass along some of my knowledge. At the moment it is a pretty rough outline but I pick at it daily. Hopefully someday it will be ready to distribute. You will easily recognize your "template". Thanks.
