For the Marco Island Patriots, the Zello app is a vital tool for communications during a disaster, such as a hurricane. Sherri, a Marco Patriot ZJ, goes over the app with me. Her experience is first hand and she's a calm voice to listen to during a disaster. My experience was that this app was the number one go-to source to find out what is happening at the moment. Usually, it's the people on the ground passing along the information.

It's FREE. Download it BEFORE you need it and connect with the Marco Patriot channel so you'll be ready during a hurricane.
