reminders
What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in a
major emergency without a phone? Make a simple plan with your family about where you
would go if you had to evacuate in an emergency situation or how you would get a message
to them if your regular forms of communication weren’t working.
Vol Tip: When you find yourself in an unsafe social situation, crowd
source people you trust or the police using the Circle of 6 app or another safety app if you need support to ensure your
safety.
