An interesting addendum to the discussion of cell phone battery life after a storm:<br>
<br>
Verizon Mobile Charging Stations Locations: "Due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, many households and businesses from New York to West Virginia have been left without power. To assist those affected, Verizon Wireless has opened charging stations in the impacted areas. Charging wireless devices is free and open to anyone impacted by the storm. Below is a list of locations offering charging stations. This list will be updated as more locations are added." (provided by Verizon via the National Council of ISACs)<br>
<br>
Granted, finding a charging station may be hard if you don't have a charged phone to find them. Actual list is here:<br>

</div><div>I have a standalone gasoline powered charging system with sufficient battery reserves to recharge my cell multiple times without even needing to be run. Additionally, it comes with an AM/FM receiver and provides evacuation capabilities in the event of an emergency. It's a remarkably complete disaster management package.<br>
<br>
It's so handy, I got one for my wife, too. We keep them in the garage.<br>
