Our emergency plan

Get safe first. If someone is hurt or in danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number).
Check in. On Home, tap I'm OK or I need help. No internet? Tap Text my location.
Stay put if you're safe. If you can't reach anyone and it's safe to travel, go to the meeting place.
Save battery. Turn the screen down, close other apps, and open Jtak about once an hour to check in.

Meeting places

Out-of-area contact

Someone who lives far away. Long-distance calls and texts often get through when local ones don't, so everyone can pass news through them.

Family notes

Only a family admin can change the contact, notes and meeting places.

What to do if…

This is general advice. Always follow instructions from emergency services and local officials.

On paper

Put a copy on the fridge and one in the car.

Send a help alert?

Your family gets an alarm and sees where you are until you turn it off.

Jtak does not call emergency services. If you are in danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number).

Waiting to be let in

Your family has been asked to let this phone in. Ask a family admin to open Jtak and tap Let in next to your name.

This opens by itself once they do. You can close Jtak meanwhile. Family code:
