Protect resources and community
Communication and verified help
Share useful information, preserve battery, and verify before donating or traveling.
Essential guide
Send short messages: where you are, who you are with, and whether you need help. Reducing calls and video helps preserve battery and network capacity; agree on an out-of-area family contact to centralize updates. [1]
Before donating money, supplies, or transport, open the organization’s original link and confirm what it receives, where, and until when. Do not forward bank accounts or addresses from social media without a direct source. [1]
- Prefer text messages and concrete facts.
- Share only verifiable information.
- Do not obstruct roads, hospitals, or rescue areas.
