The color code follows: Red = Children Green = Special Needs Blue = Adults Yellow = Service Animals/Pets Steady signal = I’m OK Flashing signal = Need medical assistance Try the updated version of the Disaster ID app called Visual 911+ app. Visual 911+ not only turns your screen into a visual signaling device, but if networks are up an running it also transmits your general GPS location to your family/friends via email when you activate an "Alert" status, including "I'm Safe". For longer lasting visual signaling capability purchase the original Everything/Tactical Lights at TsunamiLights.com . They will last from 4 to 9 days on a solid color selection and 7 to 15 days on a flashing selection. The Everything/Tactical Light have a lock feature that prevents the lights from being inadvertently changed or turned off. Featuring a last selection memory, the Everything/Tactical Light will turn back on the selected color in case power is lost due to shock received by the light. Everything/Tactical Lights are pressure tested to 200 ft. of water and are combat proven. Buy one for each member of your family and empower yourself and your loved ones to help first responders help you and your family. Great back up emergency lights!
