Emergency Communications Plan
WHY?
Following an emergency, your family, friends, important business contacts and vendors may be out of reach. Making a communications plan in advanceincreases the chances of knowing where your vital contacts are, what their situation is, and that they will know yours during this critical time.

A disaster can occur at any time, requiring changes in even the best emergency response plans. Common problems include:
- Basic communications service may be temporarily or totally disrupted so don’t rely exclusively on speed dialing or cell service. (Text messaging is sometimes available before full voice service is restored.)
- You may be away from your studio when disaster strikes — and your co-workers or employees may (or may not) be on the scene.
Make a Plan A and a Plan B for staying in touch.
