The fear of a health hazard such as a swine flu pandemic can really disrupt your daily activities. Fear to use public areas or transportation, fear of your kids getting ill at school are among the most serious. With these tow applications you can be alarmed in advance when such a health hazard appears and you can prepare. They are very useful.
