The ever so timely FEMA just released an app for Android phones that'll get you prepared for that bitch of an Irene. The app will give you checklists to build an emergency kit, maps of disaster recovery centers, information how to stay safe and more. You're going to need this this weekend (if you live on the east coast, at least). Gizmodo
Sticking an inappropriate level of enthusiasm for impending disaster with undeserved enthusiasm for a bit of coding with little potential impact, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the release of a new disaster app for Android devices.
Send PREPARE to 43362 (4FEMA) to sign up for monthly disaster safety tips. Or text SHELTER and your zip code to 43362 and FEMA will text you shelter locations near you. (Example: shelter 90210).
Will I get emergency alerts through the FEMA App?
Given the fragility of mobile networks during disasters, going without web access is a very real possibility.
Enter FEMA’s new, self-titled Android app, which puts a wealth of emergency preparedness information right in the palm of your hand just in case.
Creating an app is a smart move for FEMA, especially considering the state of most mobile networks during an emergency situation. FEMA recommends sticking to text messages and emails when trying to contact others, and that the app works fine sansdata connection only helps.
Some Android users downloaded the questionable application, which was titled “FEMA Mobile” that was purported to be from FEMA.
Just in time for Hurricane Irene, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Aug. 26 announced the release of its first official FEMA App mobile application to help people prepare and recover from disasters.
But the announcement came with some confusion resulting from an apparent rogue application also available for free download from the Android market website.
Some Android users downloaded the questionable application, which was titled “FEMA Mobile” that was purported to be from FEMA. Two commenters warned on the FEMA website against downloading the apparent fake application, with one person calling it scamware.
