This platform for the American Red Cross allows them to communicate with the population in an entirely new way, providing a real-time solution during numerous disasters and enabling users to contact loved ones to let them know they’re safe, find the nearest shelter and track the storm.  The app offers invaluable information on how best to prepare your home and make plans with family before a disaster strikes, and gives advice to aid recovery. The app also allows for the real-time addition of much needed content (such as food/shelter locators and open gas stations) which is critical in the wake of a disaster. The app revolutionised how the American Red Cross communicates with people, before, during and after a disaster. Within the disaster management community it’s proving to be the blueprint for how disaster management agencies can use mobile to help people.
