Blogging on The Run from a Hurricane

Hurricanes and tropical storms continue their conga-line assault on the Caribbean and the eastern and southern United States. The latest was Tropical Storm Hanna, and as I’m writing this, Hurricane Ike is taking aim at Gulf Coast states that are still recovering from Hurricane Gustav the Texas coast.  What would you do to maintain your personal, business, or client blog if you were evacuated from your home?

Lorelle on WordPress recently blogged about running from Katrina, and also on how blogs can be critical in times of disaster.  The post also linked to a blog post on The Blog Herald which gave tips on blogging in a disaster.  Tips included making a list of what you need to blog, using portable applications, storing all of your passwords in a secure place online, and more.  Definitely worth reading if you live on the coast and make your living by blogging.
