WHAT’S NEW Originally launched in 2015, the recent updates to the Emergency app make it accessible for people with disabilities who rely on screen readers to use the app. And because climate change is causing more extreme weather events than ever before, the updated app shows how climate change has impacted each hazard and ways you can better prepare to protect yourself and your loved ones. The app guides you step-by-step through actionable training modules to prepare for risks most common where you live and provides a dynamic to-do list so you know exactly what actions to take.
You can receive full weather alerts in Spanish as well as English and easily find open Red Cross shelters with our interactive map and track conditions with six different weather overlays. You can monitor five locations plus your current location, and also override your phones ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature for alerts that you set as critical. This app lets you customize 40 different weather alerts, so you can be ready when something is happening in your area. The app is available in English and Spanish with a new and easy-to-find language toggle. The American Red Cross has rebuilt its all-inclusive Emergency App to improve how it delivers timely, accurate information to help protect you and your loved ones.
