What's the best economical way to reach family and friends post-disaster when mobile phone networks are either overloaded or down?
I have a Garmin device so I can text and email as long as I have it charged, and have a clear view of the sky. I use it mainly for wilderness adventures, but I carry it in my backpack to work in case something happens.
It would be helpful to hear suggestions for message relay centers, how should family/friends establish a meet-up spot, what's the best strategy for this if you don't have a satellite communication device, etc.
