In a disaster, it's essential that behavioral health responders have the resources they need—when and where they need them. The free SAMHSA Disaster App offers first responders immediate access for any type of traumatic event at every phase of response, including pre-deployment preparation, on-the-ground assistance and post-deployment resources.

  • Download information on your phone before deployment in case of limited Internet connectivity in the field.
  • Review key preparedness materials to help you provide the best support possible.
  • Send information to colleagues and survivors via text message, email, or transfer to a computer for printing.
  • Find interventions to help survivors of infectious disease epidemics.
