Disaster: there's an app for that

New app saves the day.

It has always seemed to me that these smart phones everyone is carrying around these days can do more than tell your friends you're eating a bacon cheeseburger at Cardiac Shack.

I found an article, via Instapundit, that points to a few apps that seem interesting. One is a manual of advice for all sorts of disasters. The iPhone version, the Droid version.

Another is a first aid manual from the American Heart Association. For iPhone, for Droid.

And an emergency radio scanner: for iPhone, for Droid. Those link to the pro version, but there's a free one as well. Might be fun when you're watching a rerun of Law & Order.

While you cower in your storm shelter, you can always connect to the source of all life here.
