Wow fresh post on a 5 year old topic, ok I'll add my thoughts to the picture !
I thought of going all Kevin Costner (The Postman) and using the postal system as a meeting structure.
On the first of the week / month once the SHTF has died down, (zombies and survivers starved out / aliens moved on to next planet / poll reversal
complete / ..whatever disaster takes your pleasure ) meet at the local post office, not to do anything noble like getting the letter through, but from
there, we go to the next biggest post office and so on until we all meet at the central sorting office in the area, where we setup camp, use the mail
to get the fire started, and fortify the place with mail carts.
Pro's:
Universal - most countries have a postal system of some sort?
Doubt looters will think ..."Hmmm, I'm starving best to loot the post office for some Envelopes and a roll of bubblerap..." so should be intact
Con's:
As you get closer and closer to the central hub, you would be entering more and more populated areas - we'd need to keep a sharp look out for roving
ganges of fat zombies (would take longer to die off) and PO'd postal workers
Just a though
