Why You Need an Emergency Tech Kit
Natural disasters can disrupt communication. But with an emergency tech kit, you can stay connected when it matters most, believing you’re not alone in challenging times. This guide helps you assemble a comprehensive kit for staying informed and in touch during emergencies.
Keep Your Devices Charged
Invest in high-capacity power banks with multiple USB ports and fast-charging capabilities. Solar-powered chargers should be included as a sustainable backup option for prolonged power outages. These devices are the backbone of your emergency tech kit, keeping your essential gadgets operational when grid power fails. For more information on choosing the right solar charger, check out the article “The Best Portable Solar Chargers in 2024, Tried and Tested” on CNN Underscored, which provides insights into the top solar chargers available this year
Stay Online in Emergencies
Purchase a dedicated mobile hotspot device with a reliable data plan from a provider different from your primary phone. This ensures you have a backup internet connection if the disaster affects your primary provider’s network. Ensure your smartphone can be a hotspot, and portable solutions for maintaining internet access.
Beyond Smartphones
Include two-way radios in your emergency tech kit for short-range communication when cellular networks are down. Keep a physical and digital list of emergency contacts, including family, friends, and local emergency services. A crank, solar, or battery-powered AM/FM/NOAA radio is essential for receiving news and weather updates. For guidance on selecting the right radio, check out “The Best Emergency Radios of 2024” on GearJunkie, which reviews top-rated options to keep you informed during emergencies.
Waterproofing and Physical Protection Title
Invest in waterproof cases for smartphones, tablets, and other essential devices. For guidance on selecting the best waterproof phone cases, check out the Forbes article “Capture Underwater Shots With The Best Waterproof Phone Cases,“. Store your kit in a small waterproof safe or container to shield it from the elements. Include silica gel packets to absorb moisture and prevent corrosion. Use padded, shock-resistant cases for delicate electronics to guard against accidental drops or impacts during evacuation.
Don't Forget the Extras
Pack extra charging cables, adapters, and converters for all your devices. Opt for durable, braided cables that can withstand wear and tear. Include a pair of wired earbuds for clear communication in noisy environments. These accessories ensure your emergency tech kit remains functional in various situations.
