This is Just a Test. In the Event of a Real Emergency, Well, You're on Your Own

USATODAY.com - Wireless text for emergencies While I think that the cellular phone networks are more vulnerable to disruption than new mesh networks, I think that this article reflects the discussion on these pages concerning the need for better more integrated communications options for first responders. This article extends the need to communicate to the multitudes affected by disasters. We should be looking at all the different technologies that are available and putting a highly redundant system in place, so that no matter what happens, we will have layers of communications at our disposal - our society has become too complex and vulnerable to disruption to not throw the kitchen sink at this problem.
