Check out this news clip about a Smartphone app that can help you connect with loved ones immediately following a disaster, even when texts and calls won't go through.
from the article:
Deadly tornadoes and other disasters often leave many victims isolated, unable to reach families and friends. Scott Tatum was stuck on a Mississippi road when a killer twister barreled down on his truck last month.
"I tried to make a phone call, but could not get a signal through. I tried to send a text, but could not get a signal through," he said. "It was pretty frightening."
But using the Life360 application on his smart phone, Scott was able to check in, and communicate almost immediately -- with the touch of a button -- letting his loved ones know he was okay.
Thanks to Mark Wilson for the heads up about this useful technology!!
