If driving, do not text, read texts, or make a call without a hands-free device.
Maintain a household landline and analog phone (with battery backup if it
has a cordless receiver) that can be used when mobile phone service is
unavailable. Those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech
disabilities and use devices and services that depend on digital technology
(e.g., VRS, Internet Protocol [IP] Relay, or captioning) should have an analog
phone (e.g., TTY, amplified phone, or caption phone) with battery backup in
case Internet or mobile service is down.
If you evacuate and have a call-forwarding feature on your home phone,
forward your home phone number to your mobile phone number.
Use the Internet to communicate by email, Twitter, Facebook, and other
social media networks. These communication channels allow you to share
information quickly with a widespread audience or to find out if loved ones
are OK. The Internet can also be used for telephone calls through Voice over
Internet Protocol. For those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who have
speech disabilities, you can make calls through your IP Relay provider.
If you do not have a mobile phone, keep a prepaid phone card to use if
needed during or after a disaster.
Use a pay phone if available. It may have less congestion because these
phones don’t rely on electricity or mobile networks. In some public places,
you may be able to find a TTY that can be used by those who are Deaf or
hard of hearing, or who have speech disabilities.
The reader recognizes that the Federal Government provides links and informational data on various disaster preparedness
resources and events and does not endorse any non-Federal events, entities, organizations, services, or products.
