One best practice I'm aware of is to make sure no emergency plans rely on something as fragile as a tech platform, as the communication networks that such things depend on are likely to be down.

While it is good to have a backup (AM radio? Morse code?) Why eschew a sophisticated system thay 99.99% of the time will be available.
