1. Turn your Smart Phone into a flashlight or signal light
I remember being abruptly awakened in the middle of a dark night
by the thunderous roar and shaking of an earthquake. I instinctively covered my
head with a pillow and waited out the next 60 seconds of terrifying tremors.
When I dared to sit up and look out the window, the city was dark. The
electricity had been knocked out.
What can you do if you are in this kind of situation?
Grab your smart phone and switch on your flashlight app, of course!
Your trusty cell will give you amazing light to find your shoes, see if there
is broken glass to avoid and to make your way down the hall to your children’s
rooms.
Even if the disaster occurs during daylight, a flashlight can help
you in a variety of situations such as looking under beds to find your
whimpering dog or freaked out cat, peer into your Go Bag to find needed
supplies, and if you have the right app, signaling for help if you are stuck
inside (or outside) your house.
How to Prepare
Turn your smart phone into a vital survival tool by downloading a
good app. I recommend two apps:
- Flashlight from camera
flash
- Adjustable strobe light
from camera flash
- SOS light signal using
Morse Code to let others know you are in trouble
- Bright screen light for
a broader light source
- Two flashing yellow
warning lights from the screen
- Light bulb (picture) on
your screen that can be adjusted for brilliance and color
- Full screen colored light that can be adjusted for brilliance and color
- Flashing screen of blue and red police lights

you have an iPhone, please post some apps that can be used to turn your cell
phone into a light or signal device.
