Just as different viewpoints were demonstrated between trauma surgeons and 
emergency physicians, this is another example of why, before using a 
particular communications mechanism that might be under the workload and 
other constraints of a disaster, it may be worth having a networking 
engineer look at the robustness of the proposed mechanism. There may be 
fairly minor tweaks that can avoid overload.

You are quite correct that there is real statistical information here. Some 
graphing, and comparison to the usual suspect list, could give additional 
insight into the community.
