How would you communicate with loved ones in an emergency
Situation? The Homeland Security web site offers a “Family
Communication Plan.” I recommend that you download it and add a caution to remain calm.
Modify it to suit your purposes, including what to do when telephones and electricity are not available. Fill in the blanks and print out the forms. Then exercise the plan—practice to be sure that family members know what to do. Review the plan and keep it current. It could save days of searching after an emergency.
