Phones and internet down

What makes this different

Without phones, the family cannot check in, card payments may fail and official news is harder to get. If this happens with no explanation and other things also stop, it may be the first sign of a bigger event.

First hour

• Try texts, then other networks: 999 works on any available network.
• Turn on the radio for news.
• If the family is apart, follow the agreed plan: meeting points and check-in times.
• Use cash.

Stay or go?

Stay and follow the family plan. Do not drive around looking for each other unless that is what you agreed.
