Telecommunications services, like mobile phones, landlines and internet, help us to communicate and receive information during emergencies or natural disasters. They are crucial in coordinating response and recovery efforts--but what would you do if they weren't available?

If you are a resident of a natural disaster-prone area or travelling to a disaster-prone area, find out how you can be prepared and stay informed if telecommunications services go down.
