1. Agree on two meeting options
Discuss a nearby meeting place and an alternative outside the immediate area. Check practical access, transport, accessibility and whether those places are appropriate under current local instructions. A meeting point is a household agreement, not permission to enter a private or restricted site.
Public Safety Canada’s planning guidance covers household contacts, meeting places and individual needs. Use it as a starting point, then add the details your household can actually follow.
2. Keep the message short
An original practice message is: “I am at our agreed place. I can check again at [time]. Use our fallback if I miss that check.” This is wording to adapt, not an instruction to disclose your location publicly.
Decide which channel comes first and which is the fallback. A text may be useful when service works, but do not promise delivery during an outage. Include the needs of someone who cannot use a phone independently, and agree who will help.
3. Rehearse the missing-channel case
During normal conditions, ask everyone to find the paper card and explain the fallback without opening an online account. Check that dates, numbers and place names are readable. Do not call an emergency number for a practice exercise.
If a contact or meeting place changes, replace all copies together. Record a review date. Personal contacts should stay in your private kit or an appropriately protected record, not in a public worksheet upload or community post.
