And if you find yourself in a situation, where you need a refresher, you can still pull up the safety info in the app, even if you don&rsquo;t have a cellular or wifi connection.<\/p>\n<p>After a disaster, if you&rsquo;re not placing yourself in harm&rsquo;s way, you can use the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fema.gov\/app\">Disaster Reporter feature in the FEMA App<\/a> and take a photo of the disaster area and upload it to us (just make sure the GPS function is turned on). This includes all types of disasters, not just Federal disasters.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll review the photo submissions to ensure: (1) it is disaster-related, (2) not spam, and (3) there are no privacy issues. And then all approved content is posted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fema.gov\/disaster-reporter\">on a public map<\/a>. It&rsquo;s pretty simple.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/blog\/2013\/08\/05\/crowdsourcing-disasters-and-social-engagement-multiplied\" >read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Note:&nbsp;This is a cross post from fema.gov.
