Use your phone wisely during an emergency

  • Texting your contacts is best! Keep voice calls short.
  • Conserve your battery
  • Have back up batteries and chargers.
  • If possible, use email and social media to communicate that you are OK.
  • If you place a call to emergency services by mistake, do not hang up. Tell the emergency operator that the call was accidental and that you do not need assistance.
