Celular can be made more robust to resist hurricanes. It just need a bit more of engineering. And more money. It is easy stuff. But you have to work clever and spend more money. Get top RF planning team. Tell them in New Orleans I will do only roof tops, to avoid flooding. Get top civil works manager. Tell him to design infra at the sites to resist 250Km/h. Poles protruding max 6m above roof top and use bracings, that sort of things. Then I would ask my microwave guy for redundancy making rings on the bachaul microwave links topology. All short links with max. 1ft diameter dishes. Put all the MSC and Base station Controlers sites above second floors. Specifiy battery back up for 48 hours. Get me a draft of the plan. We refine it and come out with the BoQ and I would ask how much it would cost then compare with the standard bread and butter infra we build and come out with the cents I need to charge more for the reliability of the network I built.

MQ, instinct raises above a certain level after you notice something going elsewhere. I am now much more aware of the potential of catastrophe. Not fear. But more alert. <<Seismic hazard assessment of metropolitan Tehran, Iran. Amiri, G Gh; Motamed, R; Es-Haghi, H R Journal of Earthquake Engineering. Vol. 7, no. 3, pp. 347-372. July 2003 This paper presents a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Tehran, the capital of Iran. ... It comes from historical references that at least 6 times, Tehran has been destroyed by catastrophic earthquakes. The oldest one happened in the 4th century BC. A collected catalogue, containing both historical and instrumental events and covering the period from the 4th century BC to 1999 is then used. Since population is very dense in Tehran and vulnerability of buildings is high, the risk of future earthquakes will be very significant.>> I keep food and water for five days but suvival won't be possible. Gas lines will broke, they come from underground and are stuck into walls about 2m a.g.l, in case of earthquake there will be fires which most likely engulf all the cars that are parked bumper to bumper on the streets. To escape to the mountain's foot hills of the Alborz, a gruelling walk across a burning city among rubble, not feasible. See this big link: images.google.com Two airports down south may still be usable to land rescuers and emergency supplies. Newest is 50Km from here the older is 15Km away from here. Survivability looks bleak in case of a strong quake.
