FEMA is little more than another bloated entitlement program. The Mayor of NJ is already calling for them to pay for dune restoration.

Do not ever depend on electronics during a disaster.

When TS Irene hit us, the power was out at 8am due to a power line down. At 11 am the landline phones stopped working. Then something happened to the cell towers. No cell service in the area for about three days. Landlines took a week to be restored.

Bulletin boards set up in various places were the primary way to receive information as well as people walking from door to door. All of this took a few days to organize.
