It is Severe Weather Awareness week and it's the perfect time to make sure you know how your mobile phone can help you prepare for severe weather.
Here are some tips:
Back up your contacts
Stay charged up
Store ICE (In Case of Emergency) contacts
It may seem counterintuitive, but during severe weather you can sometimes break through with texting. Text messages take up less bandwidth on the network than calls and may work when phone service is impacted by a storm.
