Use Code Words For Family Communication
In a high-stakes scenario, clear communication can be compromised—either by eavesdroppers, chaos, or the need to stay discreet. That’s where code words become a critical family tool.
Use short, simple words, gesture or phrase that get the message across, without raising alarms.
For example:
Worms can mean go to the basement
Storm’s coming could signal pack up and be ready in 30 minutes
You can also use code words as confirmation of their identities, if you are separated. This is especially useful for children or in chaotic bug out scenarios.
Teach each member of your group what the codes mean and when they should use them. Keep the code words natural and easy to remember.
Don’t overcomplicate the words, especially if they are young children involved. If you use radios or texts, these phrases help protect everyone and keep them from being misunderstood.
Code words create a layer of safely in the confusion of a crisis and they’re especially useful to help keep everyone together.
