The Dominica Red Cross has launched the First Aid app, an app which acts as a means of sharing knowledge about the dangers which commonly affect the Dominica region, so that people can be as well prepared as possible in the event of a disaster. The app is available for free and can be used on all kinds of devices.
The First Aid app is also a means of testing people's knowledge about the hazards that might affect them. In other words, the app acts as a training tool that will help equip people with the knowledge they need to keep themselves and others around them as safe as possible.
The app also provides useful information on illnesses and injuries, as well as what kind of response needs to be taken during such events.
