Also, I came across a blog of guy who returned home after Katrina who mention that while he was not very successful with cellular calls, he was able to use the Texting feature. I wouldn't doubt that many major cities have some form of back up power system for cell services, but Id rather use it to compliment my current Emergency Comm. System.

They are usually easy to spot, they have a little building next to the tower. Cities DO NOT provide back up power fr cell sites. Texting is a valuable thing to know how to use.
