When I think of emergencies, words such as “being prepared is not a worry” come to mind.
And it is also a troubling fact that even though we know it in our heads, we cannot act on it!
So is there any way we can at least prepare for this easily?
Yes, there is. And all you have to do is install and set up the app on your favorite smartphone!
This information is a must for both the lazy and the not-so-lazy!
Now, let’s get started on the preparations!
All of the Google Play Apps that I am about to introduce to you are basically free!
Some applications are restricted and can be unlocked for a fee.
I use everything in the free range myself.
Information gathering
[Weather News Weather, Rain Cloud Radar, Typhoon Weather Forecast Application]
This is a weather forecast application that can be used on a daily basis, even in the absence of an emergency, and allows you to view forecasts in 5-minute and hourly increments.
The rain cloud radar also provides a “time series” of forecasts, which is convenient for visual confirmation.
You can also check other information such as “earthquake, tsunami, typhoon, evacuation,” and all the information you need in an emergency.
There is also information on “cherry blossoms and slopes” for the active.
[radiko＋FM]
It is an application that allows you to listen to radio and FM as it is!
Emergency information is now available in a variety of ways
However, with audio only, you can listen while you listen and save the battery drain on your smartphone.
You can listen to real-time or time-shift, background playback or even with the screen off.
For daily use, it is convenient for jogging, walking, or even listening while cleaning.
Map
[Geografica – GPS for mountaineering]
GPS app for mountaineering, but can also be used in urban areas and at sea
The greatest feature is that you can use it even when you are out of cell phone range if you save the map information
In Japan, which has been hit by major earthquakes in recent years, cell phone base stations often malfunction due to earthquakes.
However, with the “Geografica | GPS for Mountaineering”, you will not be disturbed even when you are out of cell phone range

[VoiceTra – Voice Translation]
It translates the words you speak and speaks them to you.
Even if you type in text, it will translate and speak to you
The screen displays before and after translation, so it is convenient to check if the translation is done correctly.
31 languages are supported worldwide, so all major languages are covered
The simple operation will be able to accommodate visitors to Japan on an overseas trip.
[Morse code flashlight]
This is an application that uses the light function on your smartphone to flash and Morse code
We aim to use this feature to get someone to notice when it is difficult for an individual to escape
Simple Morse code, such as “SOS,” would be noticed by people overseas.
[Look to Speak]
This “Look to Speak” uses the in-camera of your smartphone (the camera that mainly captures you) to communicate your intentions
The image below is projected on your smart phone and you select words with your eye movements
The in-camera traces the movement of your eyes so you can choose your words
It is useful in situations where physical movement is dangerous or speech is difficult.
However, when you use this app, you are in an urgent situation, so your first priority is to make an emergency call (119).
And if you can do first aid, that’s a priority too.
First Aid Guide
[MySOS Lifesaving and First Aid First Aid Guide AED Map]
The application covers in detail from first aid to condition assessment (e.g. sudden heart palpitations for more than 30 minutes)
You can also manage all your medical and health information in one place.
It also searches for AED locations.
At the end.
The application introduced in this article is a “self-styled, useful Google Play application for emergencies”!
Each application may be subject to version upgrades (updates).
Some version upgrades may significantly change the operation method or settings.
It is recommended to check the operation from time to time to avoid panicking in case of an emergency.
