Preparing for Emergencies

• Check landline backup batteries and replace if necessary.
• Fully charge mobile phones, devices, batteries, and portable rechargers.
• Back up computer data and print out important personal emergency information.
• Note local emergency and non-emergency numbers.
• Consider buying a battery-operated, solar-powered, or hand-cranked radio or portable TV.

During & After an Emergency

• Seek shelter and monitor emergency broadcasts.
• Switch phones and devices to power-saving modes and turn off when not in use.
• Call 911 only when necessary and limit non-emergency calls. You can also text 911.
• Avoid repetitive redialing. Text messages may go through when voice calls cannot.
• If evacuated, forward your landline to your cell phone, if possible.
