Keeping in Touch with Walkie-Talkie App for Hurricane Volunteers

“There’s absolutely no doubt that using a walkie-talkie app works extremely well in tough situations, and especially amongst volunteers who are quite simply too busy helping people to try typing on a smart phone. Especially when, let’s face it, their hands are wet and the weather is so bad,” explains TechCrunch describing the benefits of Zello, a phone app that works like a walkie-talkie. Zello now has 100 million users: “After being featured in a Houston Chronicle story about the ‘Cajun Navy’ of volunteers who have been using the app to coordinate their efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the app hit the top of the US app store.”
