In short

  • Make the plan together, including the children — what they said themselves, they remember more easily.
  • Choose an out-of-area contact and three meeting places: outside your home, in your neighborhood, out of town.
  • Important numbers must be on paper, not only in your phone.
  • When the network fails: a short text, the radio and a note for your family.
  • Practice the plan twice a year — when the clocks change in spring and fall.
