Disaster Help ? Personal Educational Thoughts - aibadi's Space

When you think about emergency preparation, you may think about having a list of emergency phone numbers, a first aid kit, etc. But the best emergency gadget you may already have is a smartphone. During a disaster, texting, email and social media are great ways to keep in touch and let families know you?re OK. That puts less strain on voice networks and can help life-saving 9-1-1 calls get through. There are also several free and/or low-cost apps that can help warn you of impending crises or help you better handle them when they happen.

Red Panic Button ($3;?iOS,?Android). If you find yourself in danger ? stranded, injured or attacked ? your this could be a lifeline. Red Panic Button is an emergency beacon. Just tap the Red Panic Button, and an alert will be sent to your list of preset emergency contacts via email, text message and Twitter if you choose. Included in the alerts are your exact GPS coordinates and a?Google Maps?link.
The text of your panic message is customizable. Red Panic Button for Android is also capable of dialing an emergency response number when activated.

With this app, you can listen on your iPhone, as well as access many life-saving features. ?It will?automatically warn you if your real-time GPS location is threatened by a storm.

Itriage (Free;?iOS,?Android). Illness and injury happen just as fast and unexpectedly as any natural disaster. If you can?t quickly determine the severity of your condition or where you can get medical treatment, your odds of survival may decrease.
