Just as you use a smartphone to receive emails and news updates, your disaster preparedness plan can go mobile, too. Your cell phone or tablet may serve as a lifeline or a way to communicate with employees, execute response plans and connect with family members during any stage of a disaster.

With the right preparation, mobile technology serves as an effective resource that you can integrate into a disaster preparedness plan to keep recovery efforts moving forward.
