App Description
Show Me for Emergencies — a communication tool for disasters
Show Me for Emergencies is a free, research-based tool to aid communication between public
health or emergency workers and people who may experience difficulty hearing, speaking, or
understanding things. It uses easy-to-understand icons for two-way communication during an
emergency.
The icons help workers in emergency settings ask questions and give clear directions. They also
help people who are experiencing difficulty communicating in an emergency a way to indicate
their communication preferences, medical and personal needs, feelings, and items needed for
daily use. And detailed icons to describe a person’s physical appearance can help workers at
Family Reunification or Family Assistance Centers gather important information.
Notable features include:
- Nearly 300 communication icons
- Option to translate icons into 13 languages
- Notepad feature to communicate via typing
- Use the app even without mobile phone service or WiFi
- Option to star icons to create a custom list
Developed by the Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management of the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health.
