A smartphone is a survival tool. During localized emergencies it can relay info to your family using PTT radio apps, navigate to a rally point, get federal alerts or weather updates, and more. However, the abilities of a phone are not limited just because SHTF and internet/cell-coverage is out. Your phone can still use downloaded maps, built-in flashlight, access pre-saved survival textbooks/guides, start a fire with the battery, improvise a compass using magnet and wire from phone components, use camera as binos or range/distance finder, signal using reflective screen, make a fishing lure, and so much more.
