No contact & questionable settings
Within the application settings, the type of alerts and options include avalanche, earthquakes, road conditions, air quality… But I don't see tornadoes.
Is there a different alert system for this? You would think it would be on here? No answer, because when I try to press the "contact" link below "frequently asked questions," the link is a dead end and does not bring me anywhere.
In addition, I tried to go onto the App Store, click the link, there, for app support, but it just gives me the Alberta government website with no clear direction on how to reach anyone in regards to the app. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Has this app been discontinued in Alberta? No idea.
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. Tornado alerts are not options in Settings and will always be sent through the app. Please contact us at info@peasi.com if you need further assistance.

Need more info & updates
1) Perhaps I’m not not looking in the right place, but as someone who does not live in Alberta, I need more detailed information on maps.
You name a ‘general area’ (ie. Wood Buffalo) but seeing the red area on the map isn’t helpful to me, as I don’t know where towns and cities are located!!
2) Updates are way too slow- ie. Today is May 12, 2024, but the last update for a Critical Area was at 5:13pm YESTERDAY. Hourly updates would be much more useful - especially in critical conditions.
3) Maybe the following information is included on the Dashboard on the Alberta Wildfires page, but personally, I find that page a little confusing and includes too much information that’s not relevant or important at that moment to the people in the affected areas. It takes (me at least!) way too long to navigate through the page. I want something fast & simple that I can see as soon as I open the map. Besides the names of towns & cities, (and wildfire identification number), two things I WOULD like to see on the map (especially in the critical areas) are:
a) In every hourly update, outlines on the map showing areas that the fires have moved through in one colour, impending immediate threat in another colour (red), and potential areas of concern in another colour.
b) Along with that data, the current wind speed and direction in the outlined area, as well as the estimated spread rate of the fire would be VERY helpful.
That would allow people to visually track how fast the fire is moving, amd make them aware of sudden changes in wind speed and direction.
(ie. Is the following formula for calculating spread rate what is used by officials?
Measurement used for critical areas is 10% of the Windspeed?
So:
50 km winds= spread of (roughly) 5km/hour.
So if a fire was 25 miles away, an ‘estimate’ (in critical/dry conditions) would be that the fire would be upon you within 5 hours.
If that IS a relatively accurate ESTIMATION tool (I believe research has deemed it to be so), it would provide people with another tool that would help them prepare for evacuation.
However, I DO realize that wind speed & direction can change drastically without warning, (as we have sadly witnessed in the past) so I think it is imperative that this is CONTINUOUSLY EMPHASIZED in every update.
Just my thoughts and opinions on what would make the map/app more beneficial for me personally, and most importantly, I believe for residents of Alberta!
Thanks! Patti
