Are you prepared for a wet cell phone

September is national preparedness month a great month to make sure you and your family are prepared for any situation. Most of us have emergency kits in our home that are stocked with band aids, gauze ointment , bandages, and medicine. Many people have an evacuation plan in place so if a fire or other disaster happens everyone in the house knows how to get out safe. Some people even have a stock pile of food and water just in case there is no place to get any if a disaster hits.
Growing up in California we always had Earthquake kits ready with everything you would need if the whole state broke off and floated away.(J/K) We did have everything my Mom could stuff into a box for each of us; water,non-perishable food, bandages, medicine, radios,and anything else that we may possibly need.
What about being prepared for other things like when your electronics get soaked, If this happens to you don't worry you can be prepared. Pick up a Wet cell phone emergency kit from Radio Shack and have it on hand. One day maybe not today , maybe not tomorrow , but one day someone in your house will end up getting their phone wet. You can feel great knowing that you are prepared to save their soaked device. Remember to follow these simple steps whenever your phone gets wet;
1. Do NOT press any buttons on the wet device (None seriously don't touch it)
2. remove the battery (if its an iPhone turn it off)
3. place the soaked phone inside the bag and seal it shut for 48 hours.
