Connectivity Tips

Staying connected during power outages can be challenging, but there are practical solutions to ensure you're not left in the dark. Jason DeFillippo suggests checking the Wi-Fi network list on your phone to determine if the outage is local or widespread 1. He also recommends investing in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to keep your internet running, allowing you to stay informed and entertained even when the power is out 2.

It's a way to get the information that you need to get and also to have that Wi-Fi when the power does go out because that can be valuable if it's actually an emergency situation.

Emergency Prep

Being prepared for emergencies, especially power outages, is crucial for maintaining communication and safety. Jordan Harbinger emphasizes the importance of keeping devices fully charged and having a reliable power source like a UPS on hand 3. This ensures that you can coordinate with family and access vital information during extended outages.

You want to make sure you've got everybody's phone full to the max for the next three days because you don't know where you're going.

Such preparedness is particularly important in regions prone to natural disasters, where power can be unpredictable.
