Emergency preparedness is no laughing matter and not to be taken lightly. But kids will get a kick out of a new American Red Cross emergency preparedness app that combines important information and fun.
The free "Monster Guard" app, geared toward children ages 7 to 11, is a game that teaches how to prevent emergencies, such as home fires, and what do if severe or natural disasters occur.
Set in the "Monster Guard Academy," the young app user is a recruit who trains to prepare for disasters and practices what to do if one happens.
Users can role-play as various monster characters, go through the initiation and engage in interactive training for hazards such as tornados, floods and hurricanes. A player who completes all of the episodes graduates to become a member of the "Monster Guard."

According to the Red Cross, the game is best played on a tablet, but it also works well on other mobile devices. The app can be downloaded through the user's mobile app store. Go to redcross.org/monsterguard or text 'MONSTER' to 90999 for a direct link to download the app.
