There’s one for every eventuality: in the event of a tornado, Tornado App; in the event of a hurricane, Hurricane App; Shelter Finder App to search for assistance in the event of a catastrophe; First Aid for immediate first aid wherever you are; Earthquake App in the event of earthquakes and Wildfire App in the event of wildfires.

The latest technological solution to be patented by the Red Cross is intended for beach and pool rescue. A simple phone key makes the search very simple: by clicking on the required word a video will appear to give a step-by-step explanation of the procedures to follow for emergency treatment.
