I’ve just downloaded and installed the new American Red Cross Shelters app – released on Feb 17th – onto my beloved iPod Touch.
This is a free application that will allow the user to find open Red Cross shelters anywhere in the country, along with accessing the latest news from Red Cross website. All you need is a wireless connection.
Operation is simple, and quick. You can choose either map or list (by state) views of open shelters. This is a very small (.2 MB) app, and well worth adding to your device.
For those without an iPhone/iPad but who have access to the Internet, you can retrieve much of the same information from the Red Cross Shelters website.
Kudos to the Red Cross for making this data, and the application, easily available online.
Highly recommended.
