When the Grid Goes Down: Does Your Family Tracker Work in a Power or Network Outage?. AI-Generated.
The harsh truth is that most family tracking apps have a critical, often unspoken, vulnerability: they depend on the very infrastructure that disasters disrupt. This isn't a minor bug; it's a fundamental design challenge. Let's demystify what happens to these services during an outage and, more importantly, how you can build a smarter, more resilient safety plan that doesn't vanish when you need it most.
