redcrossappJamestown (CSi) A Red Cross project in conjunction with the APP Store, allows users of Smart Phones, I-Phones, and I-Pads to access weather information, and emergency planning preparation, and messaging after a disaster.

Buffalo Valley Chapter Executive, Beth Dewald says the free APPS are available through the APP Store, or the Red Cross.

Accessible information includes tornado warnings, weather radio, and information concerning severe weather events, including tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes.

Another available feature is “I’m Safe,” where an individual may send messages via Twitter, or E-Mail to others, indicating their safety, and location following a disaster.
