Family Communication Plan Generator

When cell networks fail, families without a plan can't find each other. Fill this out, print two copies per person (wallet + go-bag), and put one on the refrigerator. Everything runs in your browser - nothing you type is sent anywhere.

1 · Your people

Household members (one per line, name + cell) Out-of-area contact (name, city, phone)

Long-distance calls and texts often work when local circuits are jammed. Everyone reports to this person; this person relays. It's the single highest-value line on the plan.

2 · Where to meet

Meeting place near home (leave-the-house emergencies) Meeting place outside the neighborhood (can't-get-home emergencies)

3 · Radio, when phones are down

Family radio channel (FRS/GMRS)

Any pair of bubble-pack FRS radios works license-free. Agree on the channel now, write it down, tape a spare battery to each radio.

Your NOAA weather station (from the finder) Local info sources (AM/FM station, ham repeater if licensed)

4 · The numbers that matter

Other critical numbers (school, work, doctor, neighbor)

Why paper?

Because the plan matters exactly when screens die. A dead phone can't show you the meeting place. Print it, fold it, forget it - until you need it. (Card format fits a wallet when folded in quarters.)
