Lives un danger

You better get it together Neil. You should have never pushed to have the evac lifted. Now the path has changed. Matthew didnt even come on shore. You and the governor better eat crow and put it back on.

Focused on Citizens

This is a great app for personal preparedness for citizens. As an Emergency Manager, I highly recommend this app for everyone. We should all be prepared to be self sufficient for at least 72 hours, this app provides the guidance one needs for surviving a disaster.

Thank you for reviewing the SC Emergency Manager! We’ll have an update coming very soon that we think you’ll like too! Let us know how we can improve your experience at mobile@emd.sc.gov.

Disappointing

Downloaded the app but I can’t see much use if you are not in a zone. We are having severe thunderstorms right now and there’s no information. Not sure why it’s for SC when it only has limited coverage.

Response from developer

The SC Emergency Manager is all about you and managing your personal emergency plan. This is not a weather alerting app. If you would like information about weather alerts, please visit scemd.org or monitor your local media.

GPS is not accurate

Just tried the GPS for my location (my location settings are on) and it was waaaay off! Not even close.
Gave out an address that is 1/2 mile away.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying out the features of the SC Emergency Manager. Keep in mind that the maps feature estimates your location based on your iPhone’s built-in location services. It should show the same location as every other app that has a location setting on your device. It’s a good idea to double check your device’s location-based settings just to be sure. We’ll be adding new features to the SC Emergency Manager very soon and we hope they’ll be useful for you! Contact us any time at mobile@emd.sc.gov if we can be of assistance to you in any way.

Improve the maps

Not a bad app but I wish it had more detailed maps, such as SLOSH, Flood zones, Evac routes etc.

Response from developer

Thank you for your suggestions, more maps are coming soon!

What Zone

Although the app shows what color zone you are in, it doesn’t give the number/letter of the Zone.

Response from developer

The Zone letter and county are displayed in large bold letters above the map once you select a zone, use your location or use your address within the Know Your Zone function.
