Columbia, S.C.(WACH)--The American Red Cross has officially rolled out a new App for natural disasters.
The Hurricane App is designed to help people prepare for a natural disaster.
"Now is the time to be prepared for tomorrow." Said Anna Kate Twitty, from the American Red Cross.
It provides updates before, during and after a hurricane hits.

The main feature is the "I'm Safe" message. It allows friends and family members across the country to connect during a hurricane.
"It's a very simple and to the point." Said Twitty. Here's how to get help, here's how to connect with your loved ones."
