Listening to the radio this morning and a guy from a cell phone company called in response to folks saying they could not use their cell phone shortly after the quake.
Cell phone ( and apparently land lines) air is/was restricted to Government operations during an emergency. One would think this is a great idea, fire, police, rescue personal, emergency co-ordination get to use it in order to properly serve the populace. One question however, how the hell are they supposed to know where the emergency situations are if land lines and cell lines are restricted to those personal?
You are pretty much on your own folks in any kind of emergency, be ready to fend for yourself. Better figure out how you are going to get in touch with family across town that does not include the phone or your cell. This is a concern for me as the Grey Lady has a grey haired Mamma that will not leave her beloved city. I have kids that live n the city making a living. Better figure out how to disengage your own gas, take care of your own business....Back to the old drawing board.
