Resource for disaster preparedness

The FEMA app is a travel and disaster resource created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that can help you plan, protect and recover from disasters. It can teach you basic preparedness strategies such as creating a family emergency communication plan, and what to do after a disaster.t

An essential tool to have

FEMA has been designed to provide real-time weather and emergency alerts, help you find a nearby shelter, and provide tools to recover after a disaster. The alerts come from the National Weather Service for up to five locations, so you can be assured that they’re accurate and reliable.

The app also provides a dedicated section for Frequently Asked Questions so you know how to troubleshoot in case you encounter some issues. However, as mentioned, the alerts only cover up to five locations, so it’s best to check if your area is covered.

Has its limitations

The FEMA app provides basic preparedness strategies such as creating a family emergency communication plan and real-time weather and emergency alerts and gives tools for recovery after a disaster. However, the app’s alerts only cover up to five locations, and users should check if their area is covered.
