What's a proper useful iOS app for getting info and finding help during a disaster, especially when I'm bouncing around different countries?

The FEMA app is grand for that! It's got loads of info on shelters, disaster recovery, and how to apply for assistance. Absolute godsend in a pinch!

Honestly, the FEMA app is a proper lifesaver for anyone, especially if you're like me and constantly on the go. I found it works a treat when I was stuck in a bit of a bother during a typhoon in the Philippines. It's got all sorts of information on what to do before, during, and after a disaster, plus it helps you find open shelters and disaster recovery centers. The best part? You can even apply for assistance through the app, which is brilliant when you're trying to sort things out from abroad. It's definitely something I recommend downloading, especially if you're planning on traveling to areas prone to natural disasters. Plus, it doesn't eat up your roaming data too much, which is always a win when you're trying to keep an eye on your budget while you're gallivanting around the globe. It's all in English, of course, but the info is easy to understand, even if English isn't your first language. Sorted!
