Use phones and technology safely when a storm comes

During hurricane season, smartphones, laptops, televisions, and IoT devices can pose a danger if not used properly. People need to be aware of these precautions to ensure both safety and connectivity.

During a storm, smartphones become an important means of communication, but it's important to conserve battery power and prepare a large-capacity power bank.

Users should download weather alert apps, offline maps, and data-efficient messaging tools in advance.

In particular, avoid using low-quality charging accessories as they can easily cause fires or explosions when the power supply is unstable.

Laptops and computers need to have their data backed up to the cloud or external hard drive before the storm arrives.

It's best to disconnect all power and network cables to avoid damage from lightning or sudden voltage surges.

If you must continue working, use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to safely shut down the machine in the event of a power outage.

Smart home appliances such as refrigerators, TVs, or IoT speakers should only maintain the necessary power supply.

People should use surge protectors and disconnect power to unnecessary devices to ensure safety during storms.
