Get Tech Ready According to The American Red Cross, the internet
- including online news sites and social media platforms - is
the third most popular way for Americans to gather emergency
information and let their loved ones know they are safe. Through
the use of everyday technology, individuals, families,
responders and organizations can successfully prepare for, adapt
to and recover from disruptions brought on by emergencies and/or
disasters. With effective planning, it is possible to take
advantage of technology before, during and after a crisis to
communicate with loved ones and manage your financial affairs.
