STAYING SAFE
When you ask more people about the benefits of apps on their smartphone, they say they use them to play
games, surf the net, keep in touch with people and organize social events. But Jenny Harlow, a scientist from
London, has got an app that does something much more important: it warns her when she is in danger. The
app is called Safety Tips and it gives users real-time earthquake and tsunami warnings. The Japan Tourist
Agency had the idea for the app after the 2011 earthquake in Japan, when many foreign tourists in the
country were confused about what was happening and what they should do. Jenny was on a business trip to
Japan when the earthquake struck. 'Although there are a lot of earthquakes in Japan, it was the first time I
experienced one. All the warnings and information on the internet, radio and TV were in Japanese, and I
couldn't understand. It was really confusing and I didn't know what to do.' She had to rely on Japanese
colleagues to help her. The Safety Tips app sends an alert to users when a major earthquake happens, and also
tells them if a tsunami is likely to arrive at the coast. The-app gives lots of tips about what to do, where to go
and how to stay safe, as well as a list of useful Japanese phrases such as 'Is this an earthquake?' and 'Is it safe
here?' Importantly, all the information is in English, and there are plans to add other languages. The Japan
Tourist Agency plans to advertise the app at airports and tourist information centers in Japan. In order to get
the app, people visit a website and download it. 'I'm coming to Japan again next year and I will definitely
watch out for alerts from the app,” says Jenny.
Question 31: What is the main purpose of the Safety Tips app?
A. To help users organize social events
