25     The  mobile  phone  that  always  works Even in the remotest areas, where wireless phones can get no service, there is one option available to you. During Hurricane Katrina, those equipped with this option were able to make calls when everyone around them was not. #29 This item is a satellite phone. While they are expensive, and often require you to be within line of sight to the horizon to function, they allow you to call for help even in the most remote places on planet Earth. You should seriously consider adding a satellite phone to your communications gear for emergencies. Submitted by Joe, Clifton, NJ What  to  do  before  leaving  home In the event of civil unrest so severe that you are afraid to remain within your home, don’t just leave. You need to take precautions so that your home has a greater chance of surviving the unrest or the disaster. This means turning off everything that is running, including your water and electrical appliances (switch off the box in your basement, and unplug appliances for added security). It also means shutting off gas supplies in your home to prevent the danger of fire and explosion. Some survival companies sell purpose built “turn-off tools” for switching off things like gas mains. Consider keeping one of these handy, and never leave your home unsecured. Submitted by Pattie, Wichita, KS This  option  isn’t  just  for   action  movies  or  military   trucks Run-flat fires aren’t just for action movies. You’ve probably seen footage of police chases on television in which drivers of vehicles whose tires are badly damaged continue trying to run. Their rims pour out sparks and the vehicles lose most of their mobility. In the end, the cops always capture the drivers of these damaged vehicles. In an escape and evasion situation, you can’t climb out and change a tire with angry mobs around you. Consider very serious equipping your vehicle with run-flat tires.
