Be prepared!

Whether you live in a place where tornados are often or if earthquakes happen almost never, you should ALWAYS be prepared for any emergency situation. As technology advances, we find new ways to be prepared. Now, we have iOS devices. The Red Cross has innovated emergency preparedness with their apps. Each app is absolutely free. There's one for earthquakes, one for wildfires, and one for first aid. You can test your knowledge, send a message to your family members that you're okay, and create an emergency plan in every app except for the first aid one. Most of the apps have a flashlight, strobe light, and alarm tool.
