Small Kyocera phone with global satellite telephone service is perfect for residents and businesses within high-risk hurricane areas.

World Communication Center (WCC), a leading provider of global satellite voice and data communications and subsidiary of SatCom Group, today announced availability of the 2006 Hurricane Kit for purchase by businesses and residents in high-risk areas for hurricanes or other natural disasters.

Priced at $899.99, which is 40 percent off the regular purchase price of $1,495, the portable emergency telephone kit is an instant resource for communicating inside or outside disaster areas when cellular towers and landlines become unavailable due to overload or destruction. It contains the Kyocera SS66K, one of the smallest satellite phones available, safely housed in a rugged, waterproof pelican case with an extra battery and SIM card. Available only while the limited supplies last, the hurricane kit includes a six-month warranty or optional 12-month extended warranty and requires the purchase of airtime with rates as low as $1.20 per minute.

WCC offers the following disaster preparedness tips from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a minimum safeguard in case of natural disaster:

Assemble a kit of emergency supplies that will allow you to survive for at least three days, including water, food, battery-powered radio, flashlight and a first-aid kit. For a complete list of recommended supplies, visit www.ready.gov.
Create a plan for shelter, evacuation and communication.
Learn about threats that could affect your community and appropriate responses to them.
Consider training in first aid and emergency response.
