If you are in remote areas that will be quite difficult. The best way would be to give family members the contact at Footprint. If the situation arises that someone needs to get a hold of you, Footprint will get a hold of a nearby local and have them reach your group by foot. This may sound a little far-fetched, but we have worked in the areas we visit for a long time, and will get you in contact with your loved ones if needed!
