Be Able to Communicate
Have a backup plan for charging cell phones. The nice thing about cell phones is that they do not have to be plugged in to operate. Cell phone towers send a signal to them and it is very seldom that towers are taken down by earthquakes. However, the problem occurs when your battery is drained. There are some options that you can consider. If your vehicle is still usable, charge your cell phone off of the car’s 12V cigarette lighter outlet. A USB battery pack can help you temporarily, but not long term. Solar power chargers are a popular alternative. You can often find cell phone chargers on emergency solar powered radios as well.
