The American Red Cross has rebuilt its all-inclusive emergency app to improve how it provides accurate and timely information to protect you and your loved ones. The app is available in English and Spanish with a new easy-to-find language button.

This app lets you customize 40 different weather alerts, so you can be ready when something happens in your area. You can monitor five locations plus your current location, and also override your phone's "Do Not Disturb" feature for alerts you set as critical.

You can receive comprehensive weather alerts in Spanish and English and easily find open Red Cross shelters with our interactive map and track conditions with six different weather overlays.

The app guides you step-by-step through actionable training modules to prepare for the most common risks where you live and provides a dynamic to-do list so you know exactly what actions to take. And because climate change is causing more extreme weather events than ever before, the updated app shows how climate change impacts each hazard and ways you can better prepare to protect yourself and your loved ones.

To make sure you're prepared for the unexpected, download the free Red Cross emergency app today. Compatible with Apple Watch and Android wearables, search "American Red Cross" in app stores or go to http://redcross.org/apps.
