Smart tech habits during emergencies

IS JUST A BIG TIME MARK AND I WANT TO SAY HELLO BACK. WE’LL TAKE IT. HAHA. >> YOU KNOW, AND HAS KNOCKED OUT POWER ACROSS MANY PARTS OF NORTH CAROLINA. AS YOU HEARD MARK SAY IN THE LAST 2 MINUTES, THE STATE IS REPORTING MORE THAN 171,000 PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT POWER. 5 ON YOUR SIDE’S KEELY. ARTHUR IS HERE NOW WITH HOW WE CAN CONSERVE POWER ON OUR DEVICES. SO YOU HAVE THEM WHEN YOU NEED THEM. THAT’S KEY. >> WELL, WE KNOW, YES, THAT CELL PHONES ARE POWERFUL TOOLS AND STAYING CONNECTED TO LOVED ONES AND EMERGENCY OFFICIALS IF NEED BE. AND I ALWAYS TRY TO PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH. I TARGET MY DEVICES IN MY POWER IS OUT AT HOME. SO I’M GLAD I LISTENED. WELL, NEXT, PIECE OF ADVICE. SHARE YOUR LOCATION WITH YOUR FAMILY AS LONG AS YOU HAVE SIGNAL COMING FROM YOUR PHONE, THEY’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE. IF YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE A CALL AND YOU KEEP GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL, HANG UP, WAIT 10 SECONDS, MAYBE A LITTLE LONGER AND THEN TRY AGAIN. IF YOU CAN’T GET THAT CALL THROUGH, TRY TEXTING, THIS IS GOING TO USE LESS DATA AND TO CONSERVE POWER. LIMIT YOUR TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I KNOW THAT’S ALL THE TIME WE KIND OF HAVE TO DO RIGHT NOW. BUT IT DOES USE A LOT OF YOUR BATTERY. MAJOR CELL SERVICE PROVIDER ATNT RECENTLY LAUNCHED LOCATION BASED ROWDY MEANING WHEN YOU MAKE A WIRELESS 9-1-1, CALL, THEY CAN PINPOINT YOUR DIRECTION WITHIN 50 METERS. THAT MIGHT SOUND LIKE A LOT. BUT IT USED TO BE 10 MILES STILL, IF YOU’RE IN AN EMERGENCY AND YOU CALL 9-1-1, TRY TO BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT YOUR LOCATION. THIS IS WHY WE TELL PEOPLE TO JUST STAY INSIDE DURING TIMES LIKE THIS SO THEY CAN FIND YOU EASILY. AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IPHONE USERS WILL SHARE THEIR LOCATION WITH SOMEONE THEY KNOW.
