( Nebraska Radio Network)-- Whether you need to find immediate shelter in a flash flood, you need to know what to do in an earthquake or you want to learn how to give a dog C-P-R, a new all-encompassing emergency smart phone app is available.
Kara Kelly, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross, says the free application aims to answer just about every possible question Nebraskans might have about urgent situations. In all there are 14 different emergencies covered. Safety tips and weather alerts are among the topics covered.
The app lets users customize more than 35 emergency alerts so they will know what to do no matter where they live or travel. You can also set up alerts to keep track of family members who may not live near you. The app is free at red-cross-dot-org.
The Red Cross agency has released several apps in recent years and Kelly says this new one can replace them all, or at the very least, free up some space on your phone or tablet.
