So keep a list of most important numbers in your wallet. Land lines are more likely to work. [/quote] Land Lines will be most likely to work - but be sure you have an old fashioned phone that you plug directly into the line. Cordless phones won't work if there's no power. Another thing to have - a cigarette charger for your cell phone. If there's no power - you'll still be able to keep your phone charged up. [/quote]
