Have a Call Tree “A call tree (phone tree, call list, phone chain or text chain) is a telecommunications chain for
in place notifying specific individuals of an event or tracking people down in case of a disaster.Each person on
the call tree contacts the next person on the list and that person contacts the next person (and so on)
until everyone on the call tree has been reached. In the event that the next person on the list cannot
be reached, the caller continues with the next level of the tree that so the chain does not break. “
To ensure that everyone who needs to know about the event has been notified, the last person on
the call tree list should call the first person on the list to complete the loop.
For a call tree to work, employee contact information must be up-to-date and individuals on
the tree should supply multiple contact options. Such as home phone, cell phone and an
emergencycontact phone number.
If the call tree is not automated and has to be done manually;
Store the phone numbers for the people for which you are responsible on your cell phone.

during a disaster.
