How do i get in touch with friends and loved ones after an earthquake or landslide?

A meeting place: It’s a good idea to decide beforehand how and where your family will meet if separated during a quake and to conduct practice drills. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to coordinate communications between you and your family.

Tips: After a disaster only call 911 for extreme emergencies. Dial 311 if available for non-emergencies. Avoid making voice calls or you will tie up phone networks. Use text messages, email or social media. Your family can track your status on social media. Keep all calls Brief. Keep emergency phone numbers or family #’s in your cell phone & near home phone. Keep batteries charged. For landline phone
