Red Cross launches new, free Spanish mobile apps

The American Red Cross is launching six free Spanish-language apps for disasters and emergencies with simple lifesaving information that will help keep families safe.

The six Spanish-language apps are: the Red Cross First Aid, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfire and flood apps. The Red Cross First Aid App gives people instant access to expert advice for everyday emergencies, while the other five are disaster preparedness apps that provide people with local and real-time information for severe weather or disaster threats. They also provide step-by-step instructions that let users know what to do before, during and after a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfire and flood.

The Red Cross apps have a feature that enables users to easily toggle between English and Spanish language on their app. Previously, users needed to set their entire phone language to either English or Spanish.

Each one of these Spanish-language apps are free and available for iPhones and Android devices in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. They can also be found at online.
