If you are using a mobile phone, a text message may get 5&95 through when a phone call will not. This is because a text *4 message requires far less bandwidth than a phone call. Text messages may also save and then send automatically as soon #&45 as capacity becomes available.

Maintain a household landline and analog phone (with battery backup if it □ has a cordless receiver) that can be used when mobile phone service is unavailable. Those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech disabilities and use devices and services that depend on digital technology (e.g., VRS, Internet Protocol [IP] Relay, or captioning) should have an analog phone (e.g., TTY, amplifed phone, or caption phone) with battery backup in case Internet or mobile service is down.
If you evacuate and have a call-forwarding feature on your home phone, □ forward your home phone number to your mobile phone number.
Use the Internet to communicate by email, Twitter, Facebook, and other □ social media networks. These communication channels allow you to share information quickly with a widespread audience or to fnd out if loved ones are OK. The Internet can also be used for telephone calls through Voice over Internet Protocol. For those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech disabilities, you can make calls through your IP Relay provider.
If you do not have a mobile phone, keep a prepaid phone card to use if □ needed during or after a disaster.
Use a pay phone if available. It may have less congestion because these □ phones don’t rely on electricity or mobile networks. In some public places, you may be able to fnd a TTY that can be used by those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech disabilities.
