I don't usually post my own content, but it's really important to me that I share this awesome resource ya'll. I know we don't like thinking about disasters and the end-of-the-world but STICK WITH ME here.
It's an app called HazAdapt and it's seriously the ultimate tool for staying safe during natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires, and for manmade disasters like assaults, hate crimes, and car accidents.
This app was honestly so helpful during the ice storm we had last week. We lost power and heat for 17 hours, but HazAdapt has offline capabilities so I still had access to all the info I needed to keep my family safe. (ok also I know 17 hours isn't that long but it is in the middle of the suburbs!)
PLUS it's intentionally designed as the first humanity-friendly technology, meaning it's created with equity, justice, and sustainability at the forefront. This is ethical tech y'all!
It's totally free, and you can customize it to include info on kids, disabilities, pets, farm animals, and more. AND it's translated into 7 language, literally so accessible.
Bottom line: HazAdapt is a total game changer when it comes to being prepared and responding to emergencies. And did I mention it's totally free to use? So you should definitely download it and share it with your fam and friends.
