Mark Bilderback
Mayo Clinic Emergency Management Associate “You need to make sure that your devices, or what you’re going to use for communication is going to work.”
broll If power goes out, have an external power source charged and ready. And remember, cell phone calls and text messages might not go through because people trying to reach loved ones jam the network.
Mark Bilderback
Mayo Clinic Emergency Management Associate “The longer text message you make, the harder and longer it’s going to take to go through.”
broll Bilderback says make up a code before disaster strikes. For example, if you want to tell you kids you’re safe at home, type in SH for Safe at Home. Or safe at work, SW. Tiny texts to help you communicate when weather emergencies happen.
