53 When the authorities CAN’T help you Your communication plan should not rely on the authorities. The authorities will likely not be available in an emergency or, worse, drawing attention to yourself may make you the result of “command and control” scrutiny you may not want. The key to your #93 communication plan is to work out whom you trust well in advance of the event. The “triggers” for implementation of your communication plan should be clear to all involved. Submitted by Carl, West Palm Beach, FL Subscribe and survive You should subscribe to your local OEM emergency notification system. Many states have such systems. Major cities have text message, email, and cell phone notification for emergencies. These notifications may include such events as road closures, police actions, and other critical information. If your locality has such an emergency notification system, be sure to take advantage of it. Submitted by Alan, New York The map you aren’t carrying might save your life You have heard the term “VFR” with relation to airplanes, probably. An aviation VFR map is a map that has all rail, pipeline, road, utility, waterway, and other rights of way and landmarks very clearly marked. The things pilots use as references on the ground can be the things YOU use as a travel reference in escaping social chaos. Submitted by Greg, Alexandria, LA #94 #95
