Join FEMA’s Mobile App Beta Testing Program October 24, 2023

 


 


Join FEMA’s Mobile App Beta Testing Program

The FEMA App team is recruiting volunteers to join the Beta Testing program for the FEMA mobile app. Volunteers will provide feedback and help improve the FEMA disaster survivor experience for all users on mobile devices. Sign up for the Beta program at Become a FEMA App Beta Tester | FEMA.gov.

 

The FEMA App is a vital source of information for survivors. Ensuring its functionality is crucial to providing an accessible, frustration-free customer experience.

 

“As with all apps, the FEMA app needs to go through regular updates and feature enhancements,” said Digital Product Manager Olivia Delfert. “These updates show up differently depending on your phone, carrier, operating system and other factors. The more variety of users we have testing the app updates under different circumstances, the higher our chance of catching bugs before the updates are launched and the better our customer experience. We also want to capture a variety of users. People will interpret information differently, and we want to ensure the app is as intuitive as possible for everyone.”

 

While all testers are welcome, the team is particularly interested in hearing user perspectives from former disaster survivors, individuals with access and functional needs, Spanish App users and local hires. Testers will be given access to an app testing environment with a list of questions to guide their exploration, prompting them to provide feedback on different parts of the FEMA app on their personal phone prior to large FEMA app updates.

 

Please note that the beta versions of the FEMA app are early-stage iterations. They are still in development, contain known issues and are updated regularly.

Need a performer for your next event, for a fee. October 2023

One of my first (brief) jobs when I graduated from college was working in music entertainment (I worked in urban music promotions for Virgin Records and then Clever Fox Entertainment before going on to get into government and maritime-international trade. In any event, a friend of mine who still works in the music industry is the manager for several well-known recording artists like Will Downing, Angela Winbush, The Isley Brothers, Troop, Stephanie Mills, and a few more. 

So, if you are aware of anyone in need of some great talent to perform for a future event (fundraiser, concert, celebration/awards ceremony, etc.) in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area, let me know and I can introduce you/them to him for a conversation. 

Several of the acts he works with are seeking to do some show dates in the Northeast-Midwest region in the coming months.
