When natural disasters strike it can impact your communications network. This includes your mobile, landline and internet services, which are all vital in an emergency.
It’s important to be prepared for an outage and have backup options available.
Here’s what you can do to stay safe, connected and informed:
- Don’t rely on one form of communication, such as a mobile phone, as it might become unavailable
- Consider getting a portable battery-powered radio so you can listen to emergency updates
- Have plenty of spare batteries and portable chargers/power sources
- Consider getting a satellite phone, UHF/two-way radio or personal location beacon
- Keep your emergency contact list up-to-date, so if your phone goes flat you still have their details
- Follow all advice from emergency services
- Plan and leave early if it is safe to do so. Don’t wait to be told to evacuate.
If there is a problem with the hydrant itself, such as vandal damage or equipment failure, call DFES to advise them of the issue so they can log it in their system and arrange the necessary repairs.
