- Cell phone app provides custom emergency alerts
CUTR researchers have developed an application for cell phones to provide custom alerts in emergencies such as hurricanes. Recently featured on WTSP Channel 10, developer Sean Barbeau noted that the app could be used to direct people to the nearest special-needs or pet-friendly shelter or tell people where the nearest gas station w/fuel is in a shortage, when their location is in immediate danger, or how and when they can return to their home after a disaster. The app is expected to be available in 2010. - Gonzalez-Velez awarded ITS Florida scholarship
