Connect through your digital networks.

In the event of an emergency, we all turn to our existing tools and networks—many of which are digital. Think about your connections and the online communities you’re already a part of, so you can share updates and information when something happens.

Use your Facebook account

Now:
Create a Facebook group with your inner circle so you can easily send messages, share supplies, and make a plan together. Like SF72 on Facebook to get tips and updates.

In an emergency:
Post your status to Facebook to let friends and family know you are ok.

Check updates on Twitter

Now:
Add emergency accounts to your Twitter feed, to stay informed. Some of our favorites: SFDEM, SF72org, 511 and 311.

In an emergency:
Post about yourself and your area. Use #SF72 to include them in the crowdsourced emergency feed.

Save documents on Google Drive

Now:
Scan personal documents like your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate. Save digital copies in the cloud through Google Drive.

In an emergency:
Access your documents remotely in case you can't get home. Know that there is a safe copy in the cloud.

Meet your neighbors on Nextdoor

Now:
Sign up for Nextdoor to meet your neighbors and create a community disaster preparedness plan.

In an emergency:
Log onto Nextdoor to share local information and resources with people who live near you.

Sign up for Airbnb

Now:
Create an AirBnB profile so you are ready to find or share a place to stay if anything happens.

In an emergency:
Find a place to stay, or share your place with those in need.

Connect through your local networks.

Your neighborhood networks are important in an emergency too—consider the connections you already have—to your yoga studio, craft collective, spiritual groups, or friends in the neighborhood—so you can band together if something happens.
