A poll to encourage your community to out-of-state contact lists

Question: Do your family members know how to contact out-of-state contacts?

Options:

Yes, we do

No, we do not

No, but we will work on pulling this together

Description:

In an emergency, you and other household members must have a central point of contact who lives outside the disaster zone. If you become separated and local phone lines are jammed, you can call the contact person with your status and check on others.

Consider giving each member of your household a small card with the contact person’s name and number, or create a group list on mobile phones and other devices.
