Your Smartphone Can Help! πŸ“±

Join us at the library for an upcoming Disaster Preparedness & Technology class!

Technology can be an important part of staying safe and informed during severe weather, natural disasters, power outages, and other emergencies. This hands-on presentation will show you how to make the most of the technology you already have.

We’ll cover:
• How to use the FEMA and Red Cross apps, including setting emergency alerts
• Helpful built-in features on your smartphone
• Ways to keep your phone and other essential devices charged during a prolonged power outage
• How to use social media to get emergency information from local and national authorities

This is a great opportunity to learn some simple things you can do before an emergency happens that could make a big difference when you need them.

πŸ‘‰ We need at least 5 people registered for the presenter to come to the library, so please register if you’re interested! And feel free to share this post with family and friends who might benefit from the class.
