The Federal Communications Commission provides information online to help people communicate before, during and after severe weather and other emergencies.

You’ll find tips about how to prepare for an outage, as well as what to do if an outage occurs, at fcc.gov/emergency (and fcc.gov/emergencia in Spanish).

The tips include:

• Understanding how power outages may affect your landline service
• Signing up to receive alerts and warnings
• Charging wireless communications devices if severe weather is expected
• Creating a family emergency communications plan

An ASL video is included.
