The app also provides real-time alerts for world events and safety maps for each destination so travelers know when and where to steer clear of at all-times.<\/p>\n<p>Parents of spring breakers can feel comfort from their own homes by searching their children\u2019s spring break destination and being able to send them tips and alerts as they are happening in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis app is the first of its kind. Many parents and travelers alike rely on google searches and news reports that often don\u2019t address risks in real-time.\u201d said OZZI founder, Isaiah Lopez. \u201cHaving \u2018round-the-clock updates about what\u2019s going on in a particular part of the globe can put minds at ease with ease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>De-stress During Distress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only does the OZZI app help identify perceived threats, but also provides contextual insights on what to do when an emergency does occur.
