American Red Cross Emergency Alerts
This application is a simple yet effective way to stay on top of potential hazardous situations that may affect you or your loved ones. The app makes it easy to set locations and the radius in which you would like to monitor around these set pinpoints. The app also provides useful information regarding emergencies in how to handle them including finding shelters and making an emergency family plan.Show lessD. Hill
Great App; banners could be improved
Love this app! It gives me iPhone home screen banner alerts whenever any of my family members’ or friends’ areas are under weather threats. I love that! But the banners do not include the name of the monitored location. You have to click on the banner and launch the app just to find out which of your monitored locations the flood/storm/etc banner alert pertains to - a curious oversight. Nevertheless, i highly recommend this app.Show lessjustsomeguy
Unsafe
The app notified me of a tornado warning 10 minutes after the actual warning had expired. Thankfully, I was already in my safe spot thanks to my local news. Secondly, the app apparently uses the same “tornado warning” siren for expiration of the warning, which did not come across my phone until 20 minutes after the warning had already expired. This app is unsafe. It should be removed from the App Store. Do not use.Show lessscoots23
Is a Hurricane the same as a Tornado?
---Same Day
1.]I wanted Tornado alerts not Hurricane alerts. Please make the notifications setting less clutter looking.
2.]For the badges and all that’s great. But when I want to learn more about it you guys just make me retake the quiz again. I think once we earn it we should be allowed access to the connections we need in case of that emergency, more information on how to deal with it, and the option to retake the quiz (and possibly the correct answers, if we already of the badge).
3.]For people with shaky hands or big fingers, please allow a dropdown or a type in function for the radius adjustment.
4.]If we download another app for emergencies. Because I saw you guys have a separate one of tornadoes but no tornado alert notification in this general app. Could you allow us to share information with it? So we don’t have to re-add everything again. Just an account and a free (no account) import and export option.
5.]Allow a change in measurements (metric & imperial) and temperature (Celsius & Fahrenheit). With the ability to monitor the miles and kilometers too.
I will continue to update this.Show lessMANGA ROCK WEBSITE GO
Incorrect Alerts?
Since downloading this I am getting alerts for things that are not even occurring.
For example, there is a NWS bulletin that there is a winter storm warning for my home, then I get a message that says snowfall has stopped.
My home is not even in any area of snow fall and is bone dry at home. Can't rely on something that is not providing correct information.Show lessShrek98034
Getting Worse
This app used to be great. Now, I’ve lost all my monitoring locations. No matter how many times I reenter them, they’re gone. Somehow, I am getting alerts, but I’m getting too many. I monitor a 5 mile radius and get 6-8 alerts for every event. So annoying. I will click on an alert to see it’s a warning area out of my monitored location. I back out of it to try and see which alert applies to me and they’re all gone. The app has become completely unreliable. If they won’t find updating it, it shouldn’t be on the app store so people can use reliable emergency management methods.Show lessanon4404
Has Issues
The app finally updated after over a year. When I tried to add a city I wanted to monitor it kept taking me away from the specific area I was interested in. The direction moved more to the east, away from the area, rather than moving in a westerly direction. I expanded the radius to 75 miles and it didn’t work.Show lessImhisjoy3
FIX THIS! All monitoring settings GONE???
This most recent update (3.11.0) wiped out all of my settings. I’m monitoring seven locations, all with different regional concerns and radii. Setting up these locations was already unnecessarily tedious and time-consuming, especially as they need to be carefully refined over time to minimize the many irrelevant alerts. And now they’re all gone. Poof. Same thing with the other two Red Cross apps I use. All personal monitoring settings completely wiped out. I am beyond dissatisfied. Useless.Show lessMiz Luv
About 10 minutes late for Earthquake warning
We had a 4.7 Earthquake wake us up at 2:51 am in WA this morning. It was strong enough to wake to shake the house big time. With a strong aftershock. About 10 minutes later we got the Alert from this app. The primary use case of this app is to warn of an emergency so we can take action before it hits us and it failed. I realize it probably didn’t receive its data in time due to other 3 rd party systems. But the bottlenecks need to be identified and fixed. That’s what the apps main value is and is advertised as.Show lessCascadeHikingGuy
