Choose a contact person
If someone is willing to coordinate updates, agree with them first. Decide who receives which information and who passes it on. Check phone numbers and preferred channels; do not make someone responsible for a group without asking.
Set limits on information
State your preferences about health details, location and photographs. Every development does not need an immediate update. A short message can be enough when plans change. An update chain is not a substitute for contacting emergency health services.
Your next little step
Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
