Tornado by American Red Cross for iPhone

Many of us are lucky enough to live in areas that don’t get many tornadoes. They can be quite devastating as the events of the past couple of weeks have shown. If you happen to live in an area that tends to get tornadoes and other devastating weather phenomena, you should prepare yourself and family ahead of time. Tornado by American Red Cross is one of many apps you can use to do just that.

This application provides you with a warning when NOAA issues a tornado warning. It tells you when it is time to go and get prepared. It has step by step instructions so you can prepare and optimize your game plan ahead of time. The app has useful maps and gives you enough information to prepare for emergency situations. It also gives you an idea how to deal with food and water outages.

Having apps such as this when you are stuck and need some guidance is ideal. Of course, the Tornado by American Red Cross is not perfect. The alerts are not always accurate in every area. As far as the content goes, the app does have enough information to help you get better prepared for the next severe weather event coming your way.
