September is Preparedness Month, and Duncan Emergency Management is sharing tips from ready.gov on how to be Tech Ready.

Staying connected is critical during an emergency. Text messages, email, and social media often work better than phone calls since mobile networks can become overwhelmed. Facebook’s Safety Check is one way to quickly let loved ones know you’re safe.

Keep your devices powered by charging them ahead of severe weather, minimizing use during outages, and having a backup power source at home and in your car. Portable chargers and power banks can be lifesavers. Switching your phone to low power or airplane mode also conserves energy.

Protect important documents by scanning and storing them securely on a password-protected drive or in the cloud. Back up your computer and photos, and remember to include pet records.

Finally, keep your contacts current and synced across your phone, email, and social media. Consider creating a family group chat or listserv to share updates quickly when disaster strikes.

Preparedness starts with simple steps. Take time now to make sure you and your family are Tech Ready.
