HOME INVASION SCENARIO
If you’re barricaded in your staging area with your family — and whether you have a firearm or not — calling 911 is really important. But in this day and age, most houses don’t have land-line phones in every room. And you may not have your cell phone on you when you get trapped somewhere in your home.

If you have a place in your home that you plan on going in the event of a home invasion or other break-in, a place where you might put a Tactical Walls clandestine quick-access storage unit, consider staging an emergency cell phone there along with your defensive firearm and med kit.

HOW TO STAGE AN EMERGENCY CELL PHONE
Drill a hole in the bottom of the storage unit and run the charging cord of the emergency cell phone through it. Keep the cord plugged into the wall, and plug the phone into the other end to keep it charged.

What kind of phone? An old one, one you are not currently using. It can be an off-contract phone. It will still make an emergency call. Just touch the phone to wake it up, touch the word “emergency” on the lock screen, and it will take you to the screen that you can make the emergency call from.

Many people are not aware that off-contract cell phones will make an emergency call. You probably know it because you watch our home security tips videos here at PDN. So share this video with anyone who might not know that instead of tucking that old cell phone in a drawer, they can keep it charged and staged for emergency use.
