A little foresight can go a long way—make a plan now, so you know how to find and get in touch with your people when something happens. The same connections that are important in everyday life—with friends, family, neighbors, and communities—are even more crucial in a crisis.
First, make an emergency plan with your inner circle of friends, relatives, or immediate family. That way, you will each know what to do in an emergency.
SMCReady is always thinking about innovative new tools to help the citizens from San Mateo County and neighboring Counties to plan ahead—including a mobile app that would help you find and communicate with your loved ones in the event of a crisis. A few features are detailed below. Would you use a tool like this? Interested in collaborating with SMCReady to make this real? Send feedback to Jeff Norris, OES District Coordinator.
