Frequently Asked Questions

What should be in their emergency kit?

Water, medications, flashlight, phone charger, important documents, and emergency contacts. But the most critical element is a system—like daily check-ins—that alerts someone if they need help.

What if the power goes out and their phone dies?

Include a portable phone charger in their emergency kit. Daily check-ins work on cellular data, not just Wi-Fi. A missed check-in during a storm tells you to investigate immediately.

They live in a disaster-prone area.

All the more reason for daily check-ins. During hurricanes, earthquakes, or severe weather, a missed check-in triggers immediate action from family who can coordinate emergency response.

How does this fit with other emergency planning?

Think of it as the communication layer. Physical kit handles supplies. Check-in handles alerts. Together with an emergency contact list and evacuation plan, they form complete preparedness.
