Elerts iPhone App Aims To Help Emergency Response

Over the last several years we have seen examples of how mobile communications, whether its text messaging or social apps like Twitter, have been used to share information during emergencies and disasters. A problem exists, however, in that with the information spread across multiple sites you can spend a significant amount of time seeking out information. Elerts is a mobile app and service that aims to make it easier for citizens to share information about emergencies, and make it easy for first responders to receive and use the information provided.
