Today we share about the best #preparedness APPS out there and ICE - in case of emergency numbers on your smart phone. Not sure what ICE is? Check out this handy WIKI-How: wikihow.com/Add-ICE-to-You…

📲Which apps you choose and how many is entirely your choice for better personal preparedness. Out of curiosity, how many do you currently have on your phone? Vote and reply which ones you choose.

Fundamental and an absolute must for being #weatheraware is of course the @metoffice weather app; see metoffice.gov.uk/services/mobil…

A very close second in our top 5 list is the @BritishRedCross Emergency App. Check out the video and info at redcross.org.uk/get-help/prepa…

Next are #FirstAid apps. There are a number of excellent apps e.g.

@BritishRedCross see redcross.org.uk/first-aid/firs…
@stjohnambulance see sja.org.uk/sja/first-aid-…
@ThecitizenAID see citizenaid.org/home
@GoodSamApp see goodsamapp.org/home

... also pet first aid apps!

In addition, follow 'in times of crisis' verified twitter accounts. Usually, that is your local police, fire plus others. Check out our handy twitter list here: twitter.com/30Days30WaysUK…

And if you are a facebook user, know about the 'crisis response' features available; most imporantly how to mark yourself safe; see facebook.com/about/crisisre…

Finally, there are many everyday apps which loosely fall under #preparedness tools such as maps, compass, torch, scanner... Important to remember is to keep your phone charged! An emergency charger is highly recommended as part of your emergency kit #GrabBag ☀️⚡️📲✅
