UA (University of Arizona) - Developed App Warns Drivers of Dust Storm Danger (click here) 

April 4, 2013 

Available for free download on iTunes, the app uses a person's geographical location anywhere in the country to determine if there is danger of a dust storm, or any other type of storm, in the area. The warnings come directly from the WeatherBug service.
In addition to storm alerts, the app provides a list of specific tips for what to do when a dust storm hits, such as:

• Do not drive into or through a dust storm.
• Do not stop in a travel lane or in the emergency lane.
• Look for a safe place to pull completely off the paved portion of the roadway.
• Turn off all vehicle lights, including your emergency flashers.

The app also offers a place to list emergency phone numbers or insurance policy numbers drivers may want to have readily available in a storm, as well as a list of things people should keep in their cars as part of a Dust Storm Survival Kit. Some of those items include water, snacks or energy bars, a basic first aid kit, flashlight, dust mask and a whistle or pocket siren to signal for help....
