The number one frantic need in the past 6 months of storms (and there have been too many) is the absolute unavailable technology and electricity to be able to use your technology.

If you had to call your family; boss; mom; child; business manager etc, do you even know their numbers? Heck no. We have all been spoiled with just the touch of a button to easily dial up anyone we needed. The phone had all the info in it. When the phone does not work, where is the info?

Take a couple of minutes and write on paper – yes I said paper – the telephone numbers of the most important contacts that you need and certainly will want. Tuck that sheet of paper in your wallet, purse, pocket, information file…it is alarmingly true how little we know about what we need without our operating phones.
