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.
