It’s become increasingly crucial to prepare for natural disasters, including ones you don’t expect. These apps can help.
executive Dan Kessler last October, Harbor works to gamify the emergency preparedness process by turning questions about hazards from earthquakes to wildfires into trivia questions about what to do. Unlike the apps on the list, Harbor requires you to make an account—which O’Connell say would be a “disaster” in itself if you were trying to get assistance immediately.
Users are rewarded after completing a task with puns, peppy quotes, and the possibility of earning a badge. Essential items that users mark they don’t have will be displayed under the Household app with an automatically curated to-do list. Harbor contains a lot of basic questions, like whether you should drink water or a cafe latte for survival, but it does link to official data and advice, such as the Red Cross’s Hurricane app.
In the event of a real emergency, turning on Location Services will enable the app to find your nearest hospitals. And because the First Aid app is made by the Red Cross, links to products like a premade First Aid Kit are featured, perfect for those short on time.
