Hurricane: American Red Cross for Positive User Reviews

✓ F THIS!It keeps crashing every time I use it! What a ripoff!.Emi & PusheenVersion: 3.5.1

✓ This app + ARC Tornado: Worth HavingAlthough my county also has a weather event text message alert system that makes the ARC apps a little redundant, I like having these apps. Their biggest downcheck is that they are dependent on having some kind of data access, either cell or wifi. Thus, if you have no data plan, and you're not presently camped out at home/Starbucks/Panera/etc, well then, you get to be surprised when the tornado blows you & Toto away to Kansas. On the other hand, the apps provide some level of training & prep guidance. Also the built-in on-demand sirens are good for waking the kids up..TunaFish#5Version: 3.2.1

✓ Hurricane PreparednessI downloaded this app in preparation for hurricane Sandy and I am impressed! I didn't realize how much I didn't know about locating a shelter, best place to get shelter in your home, building an emergency kit or even how to handle contaminated water (you don't). One would think that after Katrina, we would have gotten educated on how to prepare. I see why so many people may have erred. Knowledge is power and could mean the difference between life and death or extended hours trapped or starving. I am stocks with water, non perishable foods and flashlights (you're not supposed to use candles). Thank you to the developers of this app!!!.Fairfax Va residentVersion: 1.3.1

✓ I really like it!It’s amazing, it helps me know what storms are coming. Next, I suggest you could make a wildfire or blizzard app! That would be cool!.IwillrateyouguysVersion: 3.15.3

✓ Great app!! By a wonderful organization❤️We are in northeast Florida and grew tired of listening to the dramatic news coverage of hurricane Irma, however we needed to stay updated. Enter the Red Cross Hurricane app! This app is AMAZING. Gives you up to date information in real time(faster than our local new stations) and provides alerts to your area. It has been extremely helpful for us to be able to track Hurricane Irma and other weather alerts. Added bonus : we actually learned a lot of useful information as well. We love the Red Cross, it's nice to see they have such a great app as well! The interface is great. The app is easy to navigate and is just what we needed!.Oceanblue1118Version: 3.5

✓ Much improved!Excellence is what Red Cross aims for. With these new apps, they have achieved it, and then some. What I write here applies to the apps for Earthquake, Flood, Hurricane, Tornado, and Wildfire. I'm vulnerable to all five. Each of these apps provides information on what to do during the event, right after, then what to do for longer range recovery, and, now that you know it's important, how to plan ahead for the next one. You can set the app to alert you when one of these events occurs, near your current location and at other locations, where family or friends live. The shelter button will show a map of nearby shelters. If you need driving directions from your current location, press a button, and there they are. Each of these apps is also designed to teach. Each one provides a test covering information relevant to the topic. You can actually learn something! There are other valuable Red Cross apps, on first aid for people and for pets, swimming, donating blood, Red Cross volunteer connections, and shelters open across the entire U.S. with addresses and current status. For those so inclined, these apps are also available in Spanish. Just press a button. Except pet first aid ($1), all of these apps are free, a group of gifts supported by donations of the American people..Ray BassVersion: 2.0.5

✓ Red Cross Hurricane AppI have used this app for the past Hurricanes, and I am very happy that I can let my family know I am safe; even if I don’t have any power !.NJanitxVersion: 3.12.4

✓ Great appAs a trained disaster responder, I am delighted to see so many useful features. This could truly save lives..HeraldicaVersion: 3.8.1

✓ Awesome AppAwesome App.KF4NQNVersion: 3.16.2

✓ Great resource!!!! Used during hurricane Irma!This app is an excellent one-stop resource for somebody going through their first hurricane or if they haven't gone through one for several years and need a quick reference or starting place. It has information for before, during, after, and "Plan Ahead" of a hurricane. Spot on advice about knowing the diff. between watches and warnings, don't waste time taping windows, and even lists for suggested supplies. If used with Storm Radar and the Weather Channel's app you'll be a lot safer and more knowledgeable about hurricane preparedness and safety as well as getting important information at the literal tip of your finger. One thing I'd really like to see is addition of information for actually boarding up when preparing. - The most informative resource I found for boarding up once the news suggested we should was found after a long time searching online, no thanks to bad information out there. A lot of time which is essential before a hurricane was wasted searching and searching. What I did fine was poorly linked to on NOAA's site and even then seemed to go down or be deleted when I went back to reference it. Please add information on boarding as part of your information. Please?? Nothing super detailed. Just the suggested plywood thickness, what kind of sheet metals would do well as a substitute, how to attach it to your home, what kind of screws for what kind of surface, etc. Actually in general please elaborate or expand on information that may not be expected to be a given to people who have already been through hurricanes. I remember my first time being in the crosshairs of a hurricane and finding detailed and explained information was hard there's so much out there and a lot of it bad. Everybody has short/simplified lists, but no details! Sometimes more than one sentence is needed to explain things. Other than being able to hide shelters locations on the map temporarily to better see the radar or map and adding more explanations or even videos to show a how-to (would be handy for boarding) I used this app as one of my hurricane go-to apps!! This for information and some alerts. I also used Storm Radar for the radar, alerts, detailed official warnings, and map that could show all kinds of warnings, alerts, and various details on the radar map. The official Weather Channel app for live tv feeds for in-person updates and meteorologist's opinions on what to expect. Between this app, Storm Radar, and the live feed from the official Weather Channel app hurricane Irma didn't catch my unprepared and didn't give me any nasty surprises! I was certainly safer and I truly appreciate apps like this exist!! THANK YOU from a Floridian who used this app as part of their emergency kit!!.Somebody’s NobodyVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Informational Hurricane AppThis app is very informational and helpful!.KJV AdmirerVersion: 3.5.1

✓ General SatisfactionI believe this app has been helpful in keeping us alerted to hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornados that may be affecting ourselves or our families. I was pleases to see the alert warning on "fires" for Thanksgiving Day! There are people who do not use equipment properly due to an array of reasons; literacy, drinking, or lack of general knowledge. I despite others am appreciative for these alerts even if its on "General Safety". If a deep fryer used with a propane tank explodes, just remember that is a non-liquid gas and can be highly explosive; which if the user is your neighbor could affect you! I rate this app 5 stars!.SussieLeeMusicVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Bob HI live in Florida and depend on these apps for warnings for tornadoes and hurricanes it’s really accurate.Life affordVersion: 3.8.1

✓ Free And WorksUsed this app for several years works great for monitoring the hurricanes we get in Florida. Using it now for Dorian. Thanks to the developers for creating it and its free..Florida_2019Version: 3.10.2

✓ Been with Red Cross for many yearsI have saved a life, was taught how to swim, I have taken CPR and First Aid courses I have donated blood, volunteered, and I have seen first hand the unprecedented amount of volunteers that have been there during fires, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes not to mention the wealth of knowledge and skills they put out there to help people learn what to do in a crisis! I have used these apps through many situations including Hurricane Mathew and Irma and did not have any problems whatsoever!!!! As a matter of fact, AT&T and Apple kept us up and running throughout! Thank you to all at the Red Cross for doing the world this outstanding service for so many years and keep up the great work!.Getusedtoit99Version: 3.8.3

✓ Good AppHave lived through many hurricanes and you won't believe how many people don't know the basics. This app gives the appropriate information needed. To other comments...it IS easy to use unless you are an idiot...it doesn't make you take a test..it's there if you want to challenge your knowledge unless you think you know everything! Boring? Like to see how you act if a hurricane is heading directly towards you like I have...probably the one I always have to rescue because you think you know it all. Keep in mind this app is intended for the basic knowledge that is helpful for ANYONE!.YDeCwoodVersion: 1.3.1

✓ All StarsRed Cross picks up the slack between where your neighbors don’t have the capacity and when the government steps in..Scouterz09Version: 3.8.1
