that you don't want everyone to know, then phone the people you want to talk

Hi all,
A friend wishes to write an article about ham radio and was addressing =
this to the general public.  He was wondering if there might be a source =
available to the general public on how one can find if there any ham = radio
operators in their area.  This would be for a person who is = preparing an
emergency kit and wanted to know if there is any hams in = his area in case
he has to notify family that he is OK.  I thought the = ARRL would be a
source, but there isn=E2=80=99t a search by zip codes.  = I know that there
is a zip code search under the advance search page on = any of the callsign
data bases.  Gary KB2YAA
