Like it or not, we rely on our cell phones.

For most of us, they have become as important as our right arm, and we use them as much!

Being able to communicate with the authorities, get weather information, locate family and friends, etc. are all functions that our cell phones play when we are confronted with a lower-level, but still dangerous survival scenario.
