Family Communication Plan

Families may be separated when an emergency happens. A simple communication plan gives everyone the same contacts, meeting points, and backup methods.

What to organize

  • Choose primary and backup family contacts, including an appropriate out-of-area contact.
  • Agree on familiar meeting locations for different situations.
  • Record multiple ways to communicate if normal calling or internet access is disrupted.
  • Make sure household members can access the plan and review or practice it periodically.
