This is an awesome list, especially with the weather the way
it’s been lately. There are floods and hurricanes in one part of the country,
and everything here in Colorado
is on fire, but a lot of these apps look like they’d be extremely useful for
that as well. I offer only a few suggestions, as I’ve been in a shelter before
after being evacuated during the LA fires a few years ago, before I moved back
to Denver. I am
in no way saying this is as important as any of the apps you list, because
obviously the safety pf your family comes first, that’s not even a question.
But one thing I found out, and quickly, is that shelters are boring. It will
help, especially if you have kids, to have some apps on your phone or tablet
that are strictly entertainment based. Any kind of e-reader is great, and
games, too. One app I wish I’d had back in that shelter was this remote access
app I heard about through my job at Dish. It lets me pull live and recorded TV
off my receiver at home and watch it anywhere I have access to WIFI or 3G, and
it would have gone a LONG way to make a horrible circumstance just a little
more bearable, and trust me, that can be a huge thing.
