Prepare to Protect With the New Emergency App

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. The app is available in English and Spanish with a new and easy-to-find language toggle.

This app lets you customize 40 different weather alerts, so you can be ready when something is happening in your area. 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.

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.

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. 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.

To make sure you’re ready for the unexpected, download the free Red Cross Emergency app today. Compatible with Apple Watch and Android wearable devices, search “American Red Cross” in app stores or go to redcross.org/apps.
