Preparedness Tip -
Your Communications

* "ICE" your cell phone.

o Help first responders use your cell phone to notify the right people in an
emergency. Include the acronym ICE-In Case of Emergency-in front of your
emergency contacts' names. Example: "ICE Dad" or "ICE Alison."

* Create a phone tree.

o Write a list of key contact information to reach members of your
family/business. Designate an out-of-town contact to communicate among
separated family/business members. If phone lines don't work, use social media
and text messaging to let others know you are safe.

* Prevent communications
breakdowns<http://www.ready.gov/get-tech-ready>.

o Always keep electronic devices fully charged, and keep multiple cell phone
chargers/adapters at various locations. Designate an out-of-town friend or
family member as "point person" in case you are separated from family. If phone
lines don't work, use social media and text messaging to let family/friends
know you are safe.

Disaster of the Week -
August 25, 1950: US Navy hospital ship USS
Benevolence<http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-b/ah13.htm> sank
after it was struck by the freighter SS Mary Luckenbach in dense fog near
Golden Gate in California's San Francisco Bay. Of the 526 people aboard the
Benevolence, only 23 perished. This was due, in large part, to the efforts of
John
Napoli<https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19610526&id=ZQcqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5yYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2784,3708050&hl=en>,
a crab fisherman who single-handedly rescued 70 victims of the tragedy.
Lessons learned: Often times, the first response to an emergency or disaster
does not come from the police or fire department, it comes from citizens
willing to come to the aid of someone in distress, and the heroism of John
Napoli is but one example of an ordinary citizen behaving extraordinarily
during a crisis. Learning basic first
aid<http://www.redcross.org/local/or/local-training-education>,
CPR<http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/CPRAndECC/FindaCourse/Find-a-Course_UCM_303220_SubHomePage.jsp>,
and even taking FEMA's on-line incident command
courses<http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is100b.asp> can help you be better
prepared to render aid during an emergency, and knowing what to do during an
emergency can greatly reduce your anxiety and the anxiety of whomever you are
helping. Establishing a Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT)<http://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/> or other Citizen Corps
program<http://www.citizencorps.gov/citizencorps/index.shtm> in your community
is also a great way to provide a higher level of emergency training to better
prepare your community to assist those in need during an emergency or disaster.
Developing skills to assist a neighbor, friend, or even a stranger during an
emergency is a great way to help become prepared, not scared!
