During an emergency, normal means of communication may become inoperable. Priesthood leaders should consider:
- How to contact missionaries and members following a disaster.
- How to communicate the status of missionaries, members, buildings, and other necessary information to area leaders.
- Available communication personnel and equipment.
Communication Specialists
Priesthood leaders may call communication specialists as needed. Individuals interested in communications often own radio equipment and possess valuable experience.
