Hurricane Harvey hit wreaking devastation across the state of Texas causing the worst flooding disaster in U.S. history.
While The American Red Cross were mobilising disaster relief workers to support the response efforts, the power of digital was being fully harnessed, providing people with vital information through emergency preparedness apps.
The free Red Cross apps allow users to monitor their location and specific threats to their area. Built by us, we've helped people to stay alerted of risks, let loved ones know they are safe and get directions to the nearest shelter.
