How do you set up your emergency out of town contact? The guy who keeps tabs on everyone when things go sideways and can tell you that cousin Mikey is in this hotel or that evacuation shelter.

Do you just say "Uncle Joe in that city is the contact for all the relatives in this city"? Or, do you exclude the human factor and use a voice mailbox (i.e. Google voice), or SMS/email group as a central contact point?
