In the event of a disaster, STAY OFF THE PHONE except to report emergencies and make sure your phones are properly hung up.
If you NEED to make a call, try sending a text message. They are short, more likely to go through & don’t tie up phone lines needed for emergency personnel. It is often easier to get through to an out-of-state phone number than a local one.

GO THE EXTRA MILE:

Where to go in an emergency. Write down where your family spends the most time: work, school and other places you frequent. Schools, daycare providers, workplaces, and apartment buildings should all have site-specific emergency plans.
