Comms and papers: hear the warning, prove who you are
A family plan, a weather radio, a charged bank, and a waterproof pouch beat a drawer of dead cables.
Ready.gov’s first planning questions are how you get alerts and how you reconnect if you are split up. BorderNest treats comms as a room: alerts in, family out, documents safe.
- Alerts: Wireless Emergency Alerts, NOAA radio, a local EMA app — not only Twitter.
- Family: out-of-area contact, two meeting places (near and far).
- Power: a bank you recharge on the first of the month.
- Papers: ID, insurance, deed or lease, medication list, cash in small bills.
