Your #1 Lifeline In An Emergency
7 Ways Your Phone Can Save Your Life In An Emergency
It's easy to see that our phones have become an invaluable resource in our day to day lives.
But you really come to realize their importance in the event of a disaster. Not only can you provide help, but you can also see weather updates, receive important alerts, and even call for help.
Here are some other ways you can use your cell phone to help yourself and others in an emergency:
- Keep an eye on your social media feeds for information that might help you stay safe.
- View online local news for pertinent information.
- Download the Zello app and volunteer to help as a dispatcher.
- Post videos, images or information, when you see a problem area that you want to help people avoid.
- Make phone calls to people you know who might be in a dangerous area.
- Send a group text to your contacts, alerting them to the problem.
- Call a media outlet with important information. They can then communicate it to a much larger audience than yours.
Have Your Lifeline Ready
It goes without saying that if your phone dies, you won't be able to help yourself or anyone else in an emergency.
That's why it's critical that you remember to keep your phone as charged as possible. Especially if you're headed out the door and might not be able to charge it again soon.
You never know what might happen.
And having a phone on hand when you need to call for help can make the difference between life and death.
Just ask the residents of Texas and Florida after Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
People were desperately trying to call emergency responders for help, and the phone lines were absolutely jammed.
Authorities actually told people to stop using social media and told them to just keep calling.
But how are you supposed to keep calling if your power is out and your cell phone is dying? You'd be stranded.
That's why portable, backup power is downright essential in an emergency.
Communication is critical to survival, and your phone isn't any help to you if it's dead.
Our top recommendation to keep on hand for this is the Patriot Power Cell.
This breakthrough backup power device fits in your pocket, and charges in the sun. So you'll never have to worry about the internal battery running out.

Sold Out in 48 Hours?
"You realize we won't be able to stock up again for MONTHS. We won't be able to do another promotion like this until next year."
Oh no. We all slapped our foreheads. She was right. That went better than expected. We didn't know we would run out of thousands in a matter of hours.
The second time we stocked up to double what we had before. No matter how incredible this device is, we were going to meet the demand.
And then... Gone.
You see, with headlines surrounding the devastating pandemic and hurricane season just weeks away, folks across the country are clamoring to get these gadgets.
Most are even grabbing these by the 4-pack. One for the home, one for the car and a couple more for loved ones.
Now, we finally have more of these pocket chargers than ever before. And we think it will be enough to meet demand. That's why it's my privilege to let you know these are back:
A pocket "power plant" that can charge a phone up to 6 times or even two devices at once on a single charge!
Pocket-sized backup power charges from the sun!
To your health,

I bought four of the Patriot Power Cells. They work so well, I bought eight more to give to my kids and friends for Christmas. I work outdoors a lot, so I take mine along to plug in my cellphone. They also have a flashlight on them, which comes in real handy. This is a good buy, you won't regret it.

I'm very happy with the 4Patriots products. I've gotten the Power Cell, which is fantastic to charge my cellphone anywhere. It's rechargeable and I'm very happy with all of the 4Patriots products. And I'm very happy with Frank Bates, he's very truthful, honest and helps others in need. I really appreciate his products and his emails that I get. I'm really, really happy. I would recommend his products and him to anyone. Thank you so much.

I bought four of the Patriot Power Cells. I know they will come in handy. Because I know people with their cellphone, saying... "oh I have no battery left." And you know what? They're getting it for Christmas. That's what I'm doing for them. We're in New York, things are quite ample at this time, ya know. But for emergencies like that - to have your cellphone, your contact to the outside world - it's important. Thank you very much, Frank.

It's a great item for me on weekends out in the country, the swimming pool, wherever else I don't have electricity available. Often times people have come out to the pool, for example, and brought their power adapter to keep their cellphones or laptops or whatever charged up. They wound up losing them. With the Power Cell, it works great to recharge in the shade and I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.
