Magic of technology new approach in disaster management
The American Red Cross society set up live updates about
Hurricane Sandy for people who have new mobiles Android/iPhones through a free
application called Hurricane. It is now
available on iTunes app store and Google play store.
This is very new and easy approach to disaster management. We
get the latest news and updates of people who are affected by the disaster and
are fleeing from their homes. It has
been proven useful especially for no power available in the areas. In the storm time power is not supplied due
to the heavy rain and wind, in that time this application is very useful for
people.
The application offers more useful tips for people what to
do before, and after the storm has passed, and also each and every bit of
information it provides about the storm in straight. The Red Cross that all
information, especially news, being fed to the app is the most recent and
official. Above all, the app has all necessary features that everyone might
need in times like this.
FEATURES OF THE APP:-
Massage: The Hurricane app offers one touch
“I’m safe” messaging to serve as reassurance for our families and friends that
we are out of the harm’s way. The message will be broadcast-ed to social media
outlets for everyone to see.
THE RED CROSS OFFICE LOCATIONS: Using
the app, we can easily locate open Red Cross shelters near our current
position. It is difficult and too risky to wander off looking for safe places
to stay during the storm; this feature is most useful to save us.
FAMILY
EMERGENCY PLAN TIPS: There are simple steps and checklists available in the
app that we can use to create a family emergency plan. When we anxiety , it is difficult to think clearly on
what to do, so Red Cross made sure that with the help of the app, we will be
guided with this app correctly.
Hurricane Sandy
weakened to a Category 1 storm late 25th of this month as it hovers
over low-lying southeastern islands in the Bahamas. In Friday, the storm
already left 31 an accident as it continues to gain mass spawning a “HYBRID”
super storm. It is expected to hit the U.S. East Coast and cause even more
destruction before it exits the country. If any one of us are ones the people
that will be affected by Hurricane Sandy or know someone who might be in its
way, better to download the app now.
No doubt about of it. This app is a technology magic. See
how the technology is used to us. God is
great/Nature is great to give ideas to our minds. So we thanks to God/Nature and Scientists
