How to make a family comms plan on one index card
Names, numbers, two meeting spots, and who owns the radio. Tape a copy inside the go-bag.
- Write every household member and one out-of-area relative who will not be in the same storm.
- Pick a nearby meeting place (end of the block) and a far one (library, church, relative).
- Note how you get alerts: phone WEA, NOAA radio, NOAA weather radio tone.
- Put a paper copy in the document pouch and a photo of the card on each phone.
- Practice the text tree once a year. Kids should know the out-of-area number by heart.
