The Wireless Foundation has compiled useful information to keep wireless customers prepared for emergencies, from an every-day crisis like a flat tire to large-scale disasters such as a hurricane, when electrical and cellular communications systems could both be compromised. Wireless phones have saved countless lives and make our communities safer every day. With a little planning, you can be ready to use your phone when you need it the most.
Do you have a way you’ve used a cell phone in an emergency that we haven’t listed here? We’d love to hear your suggestions. Email us at safety@wirelessfoundation.org or call 202.736.3229.
The VITA Advisories were created in conjunction with noted homeland security author, W. David Stephenson.
