Disasters can strike at any time — but with the Red Cross Emergency App, communities can stay informed, prepared, and safe.
That’s where YOU come in.
The Emergency App Quest is a nationwide challenge where youth volunteers compete to get as many people as possible to download the free Red Cross Emergency App!
It’s a fun, impactful way to promote disaster preparedness and help your community stay ready for anything.
