Be Prepared: Communicating During Emergencies

Emergencies can cause confusion and disrupt the communications we usually rely on. Have you considered how you would communicate with your loved ones in an emergency? 

#BePrepared with the following tips:

• Establish three meeting places and save the locations on your phone’s mapping app. Pick one near your home, one outside of your immediate community, and one out of town.
• Keep a fully charged portable charger or charging cord on you and in your emergency kit.    
• If you have dependants, such as children, older adults, or pets, ensure you know the emergency response plans and communication protocols for the places they frequent.

A communications plan is one piece to consider when making an emergency plan. Learn more on how you and your loved ones can prepare for the unexpected with Be Prepared programming and resources.
