Keep Offline Information Ready

When the internet is down, the info you need most should still be at hand โ€” contacts, maps, and key documents on paper or saved offline.

Key takeaways

  • Print a contact and address list for your kit.
  • Save offline maps of your area on your phone.
  • Keep copies of key documents in a waterproof bag.

Step-by-step

  1. Print the essentials. A one-page sheet with phone numbers, addresses, and the family plan beats a dead phone.
  2. Download offline maps. Save your region for offline use so you can navigate without data.
  3. Protect documents. Keep copies of ID, insurance, and prescriptions in a sealed waterproof bag.
