Animoto Video - Natural disasters

When I grew up cell phones did not exist. Yet we lived. Today how we function depends on cell phones. If the service does not exist people are at risk. It is not that we are more fragile. Or that we got soft. But instead it is that we have changed our behaviors to rely on that little device hanging on hips for safety, security, and piece of mind. However, cellular networks are not designed to be able to withstand a natural disaster. This has been clearly document after hurricane Katrina. Now there are thousands of smaller disasters that interrupt communication services. While scale is small the impacts are huge.
