I would first try to figure out in which state the targets are. It is 
important to install handlers for all unexpected exceptions and make 
sure that they you use a defined stack pointer to handle the exceptions. 
In the handler I would place the target state in a non-volatile memory, 
reset the target and then send the information to someone.
