Did you know that technology is an essential part of being prepared for emergencies and natural disasters? In this informative session, co-sponsored by the Iowa City Public Library and Senior Planet, presenters will explain how technology can help you prepare.
We’ll discuss and demonstrate useful features of the FEMA and Red Cross apps, including setting alerts. Additionally, we’ll review built-in smartphone features that can come in handy in the event of an emergency and explore how to keep phones and essential devices charged during a prolonged power outage. Finally, we’ll discuss how you can use social media to get emergency and other important information from local and national authorities.
This presentation is part of Senior Planet from AARP.
