If I was there I would want to try to get some kind of network setup so people could still get the internet...or at least communicate. All you really need is an old laptop and a wifi antenna adapter cable combined with like an old satellite dish and you can communicate over miles. If you don't need to go that far, just a random piece of wire could do in a pinch. Just gotta shape it correctly and hook it up to an old laptop or an old router.
