FEMA Times Launch of Mobile Site With Storm Season
FEMA has launched its new mobile Web site, m.fema.gov just in time for storm season. The mobile Web site makes it easier to access emergency information right from your smartphone.
“Smartphones are becoming more prevalent, affordable, reliable and more viable to locate and obtain information and assistance,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “This service will provide yet another avenue for the sharing of important information that is so critical to ensuring the public is prepared for emergencies. As we’ve seen in recent cases, often times after a disaster, mobile devices become a crucial lifeline to provide information to survivors.”
The new site has a user friendly, question and answer format, providing users with the answers to their top questions, such as:
What should I do in a disaster?
Where can I find assistance?
How can I help others?
FEMA will be making several enhancements to m.fema.gov in the coming months, including the ability to apply for individual assistance when a disaster has been declared by the President, check on the status of an application and update an existing application.
The mobile site is just one way that FEMA is reaching out to ensure that the public has the tools they need to be prepared for any emergency. Families are also encouraged to log onto www.ready.gov and learn more about the simple steps they can take to ready for this season.

I was doing a little research on what agents in other markets were saying about thier local markets when I came across this blog post. I found this article very useful. We are heading to Florida and Lousiana this summer on vacation and will bookmark these fema sites on my smartphone to keep up to date on significant weather advisories. Thanks for some very useful information.
