If I shut off my phone will I lose my number?

Heck- Somebody make an "Evacuee survival guide" with laser precision information on how to get help without clicking 50 links or waiting on hold 2 hours. If you can save 25,000 people 5 hours of looking up the same information, think of the power in that!

Be sure to check out the trackbacks to that post for useful information, and also see Kevin Aylward's post, Hurricaid for making a direct donation to Paul.
