Used to love this app

Now, it will show me a partial update on a banner, but when I open the app to read it, I get a blank screen.

Simple, basic, solid

I appreciate the ability to highly personalize what notifications I get. I use it locally, plus put in any places I travel to. Gets me the notifications I want in order to dig deeper.

Missing rural cities!

And need a way to customize which alerts I want.

Awesome App

Easy and very informative

Accurate no bloat and straight forward

Made by us gov

Good app

This is a good alert app overall. It would be helpful if you could have only the most recent alert when you open the app to check. If there are a lot of updates in a short time you can have a lot of alerts.

Good severe weather warnings.

While you donโ€™t win warnings from FEMA, itโ€™s good to be warned.

Needs dark mode

Open this during a blackout and that bright white background will be a shock to the retinas. Also, a dark background can offer some battery savings so itโ€™s logical to implement a dark mode. The Environment Canada app has dark mode. Why doesnโ€™t FEMA?

Keeps crashing

I have had this app on my phone for a long time and always appreciated the warnings
However, this version keeps crashing and going blank
Since I am currently under an active tornado watch itโ€™s frustrating and scary

All Notifications All the Time

This app is great for weather alerts. However, even if I turn certain alerts off, they still come through. I get inundated with way too many notifications that I quit paying attention. Definitely not ideal for an emergency application. Just show me tornados. ๐Ÿ™„๐ŸŒช๏ธ

Bug that has been happening for several months. New update does not fix.

I get notifications about alerts but they do not show up in the app, so I canโ€™t see the actual contents of the alerts.

Efficient and seems accurate

I have downloaded several different weather apps over the years. They often come with video ads, especially lately. The FEMA app is different. Iโ€™ve not encountered any ads thus far! There are only two apps that currently provide me with the alerts I find helpful: this FEMA and another one. I think Iโ€™m actually going to delete the other app because it has ads and the FEMA app works so well! Despite living outside the city limits, this app appears to be accurate. Enjoy!

Late alerts

Storm had passed. Alert says hail 10pm but not visible on radar

Very timely

This app has been very timely, warning me about upcoming weather. It has given me time to alert my family and friends in preparation for upcoming events.

Very up to date and responsive

Most important app to keep me safe

Thank you for the great design and the information that the app always contains. I appreciate every notification I get, and I take them seriously. Itโ€™s not ad driven, and one of the government departments and this application Iโ€™m happy to pay my taxes for. Great job to the developers for a well written app. Thank you again!!! You got my 5 stars!

Iโ€™m So Much More Very Happier Now With The Brand New Emergency Weather App & The Quick Alerts.

It is the most upmost best bestest great greatest weather app ever created 100 %.

Where did the alerts go?

Help! In Alaska, where weather can change several times a day, Iโ€™ve always depended on FEMA alerts for details on what to expect. But lately when I get notifications of events such as โ€œsevere weather warningโ€ and I open the app, Iโ€™m told there are โ€œno active alerts.โ€ How can I get essential details on these weather warnings?

Great resource!

As a former emergency manager, this app is a great resource for keeping aware of impending hazardous weather conditions, and how to prepare for other hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Highly recommend!

Living alone I feel so much better for the weather forecast. Thanks,
