A Big Quake and Your Phones
After the coming big quake, if your phones work, use the phone and
not your car! A few tips:
- Change your voice mail message to state that you are safe
- Before the quake, make sure that all your family knows a single
relative or friend who lives outside California that you can
contact to say you are fine. This way, fewer calls are needed on
jammed “in-State” phone lines.
- You may have to wait a bit longer for a dial tone after a quake.
Be patient. Don’t just hang up and try again.
- Keep change or a pre-paid phone card in your wallet.
Make your home secure and your family safe.
