How would you say good-bye on social media if the end was reality?

So how would you communicate with your family or get help if communications go down? If you found yourself in the middle of a wide-scale disaster such as a hurricane or other catastrophe and you had no government coming to help for a while, how would you communicate with your family or others? What if the power grid went down?

If all you left was a laptop/solar battery/mobile device/PC on it's last legs/tin cans or smoke signals ...

How would you say good-bye?

I doubt if anyone would survive till the power comes back on if an EMP attack should occur, but if they did that's another separate question, "What the heck happen"?

My good-by

Good-bye old friends I hope we won the war ... anyone know what channel to watch?

An emergency population warning is a method whereby local, regional, or national authorities .... In some cases, the warning signal may be played by a mobile system installed ... It enables the leader of the country to address the people simultaneously on all TV channels and radio stations, interrupting normal programming.

Not sure I'd bother as long as I was with my wife and kids.

What if some members of your fammily are (deputies to) the members of the goverment or VIPs of other kind? (which sort of defeats the point of the original question as it implies that there would be some 3rd party organising the comms and other nessesary services)

Otherwise yes, the warning would be delivered via the emergency system. Some of the points they raise (ie realiability and survivability of backbone nets) are strongly dependent on the state regulation, in Russia backbone nets (and other strategic infrastructure) are build with mobilisationary needs in mind.

Living without electric power is quite possible the more significant issues would be central heating (or rather the lack of it during winter), clean running water and working sewers.

Here in Florida we do exactly that once every four years or so as hurricanes slap us back into the stone age for a month or so. So we have practice, and if the mental attitude is good, the only long-term problem is food. And that one is close to insolvable unless you are isolated enough not to become a victim of predators.

Give it 5 minutes and you have withdraw symptoms.

I think most can food is dangerous to store due to the lining material, even Campbell's soup which I am really tired of anyway.

Now I hope for this new can to become available to stock up on.
