\"radar\"<\/a>Hurricane season officially started June 1st and runs through November 30th. Today the first named storm, Andrea, hit the North Carolina coast as a tropical storm and its rain stretched into Durham. We are supposed to get over four inches of rain, and yet we are still in a moderate drought. Go figure.<\/p>\n

With all this rain it’s a good time to talk about disaster preparedness. There are many free apps for Android, iPhone and Blackberry devices that would be useful in a disaster.<\/p>\n

The Red Cross has several mobile apps<\/a>, including ones that will track weather warnings including hurricanes, flood advisories and tornado warnings. They also have apps for earthquakes, first aid, wildfires, and a shelter tracker. All useful information when you need it.<\/p>\n

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) <\/a>has developed a mobile app with maps, recovery and safety tips, and information on building a disaster kit. It also has interactive lists for storing your emergency contact list and meet-up locations.<\/p>\n

\"ems\"<\/a>
Disaster Wheel in app form.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Heritage Preservation<\/a> has created a mobile app based on its popular Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel. It outlines the steps to take in a disaster from \u201csafety first\u201d to \u201cdocumentation,\u201d and includes recovery information based on the type of materials effected. While the actual wheel seems more useful, this first version is pretty good and would be helpful if your paper copy floated away.<\/p>\n

Of course all of these work best if you have power for your phone. You might consider putting a hand-cranked emergency radio\/cell phone charger<\/a>. I’m putting two of these on my Amazon wish list, one for my disaster kit at work, one for home use.<\/p>\n

Oh, and do you have a clean change of clothes and dry socks in your disaster kit<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
