You Need A Designated Phone Contact When A Natural Disaster Strikes

Were you ever in a major earthquake? Were you in a tornado? Were you in a tidal wave? The natural disasters can go on and on. What is the first step you take to communicate with your family and friends? The telephone. Everybody is trying to find their loved ones? Are they still alive? Are they hurt? Do they have food or water? If you have answered yes or no to any question, read on.

I was at a lecture about natural disasters recently. The point that was driven through my head was - Before disaster strikes make a plan with your family on how to communicate with each other and keep the phone lines open.

Use the family or friends you have in other areas or states. Each family member has the phone number to various relatives. The next step would be to pick one or two to use as a communication base if disaster did strike. This person becomes your Designated Phone Contact.

With each family member instructed as to this procedure ahead of time it can save lives, mass confusion, relieve stress and leave the phone lines open.

When a disaster does hit the phone lines become a feeding frenzy which makes it almost impossible to contact any of your family members. You will be well ahead of the game if you call and check in with your Designated Phone Contact. This will lead to less confusion and your family and friends will be relieved to know you are okay.

Thank you for reading my article. Please feel free to read any of the numerous articles I have written on various subjects.
