Neva explains how WayAround tags work with smartphones, including iPhone, Android, and BlindShell devices, to label and identify everything from important documents to medication, clothing, and go bags. \n\nThe conversation dives deep into using WayAround as a tool for creating, practicing, and updating evacuation and shelter-in-place plans. Neva highlights different tag types—stickers, buttons, magnets, and clips—and explains their practical use in real-world emergencies. She shares powerful personal stories of navigating fires, floods, and blackouts, underscoring the importance of practicing plans, rotating supplies, and preparing for both evacuation and shelter-in-place scenarios.\n\nListeners will come away with actionable strategies for building a well-equipped go bag, tagging critical information like IDs and insurance documents, preparing medication, and ensuring family-wide access to emergency plans.
