San Bernardino County has prepared a new app for smart phones to help residents prepare and plan for disasters. The Ready SB County app allows users to share their status with selected contacts with the push of a button, receive critical emergency alerts, locate the county’s emergency shelters, view up-to-date evacuation route maps, get the latest news and weather for San Bernardino county. The app also creates a personalized emergency preparedness plan that includes what you’ll need for an emergency supply kit, an emergency food supply shopping list; an emergency communications plan, and critical information to prepare your home for a disaster. This free app is available for both Android and iPhones and can be used with or without an Internet connection.
