Hurricane safety and Information

The official federal emergency app — learn how to stay safe before, during, and after disasters. You can also locate open shelters and FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers, and get U.S. National Weather Service alerts.

Monitor hurricanes with up-to-the-minute reports, weather maps, and news stories. Plus, get safety and preparedness tips along with personalized alerts for dangerous conditions.

If you need to evacuate, use GasBuddy to help you find the closet gas station that still has fuel. This community-powered app allows users to report gas stations that are out of service, along with other useful information like gas prices and amenities.

Zello turns your phone into a walkie talkie, letting you push-to-talk to contacts or a public channel. While you’ll need a Wi-Fi or data connection to use Zello, the quick voice communication it enables can be helpful for urgent messages and group coordination.

Connect with neighbors through community forums and private chats. Seek and share information and help, or even send an urgent alert — a special post neighbors will receive by text message (SMS) and email — if there's a message they need to see immediately.

If you're a registered volunteer with the Red Cross, use this resource on the ground to sign up for shifts, submit hours, and more. Note that you'll need to register as a volunteer through the Red Cross website.
