Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you are not receiving alerts when you expect them. Please contact us at SaskAlert@gov.sk.ca with your location and the approximate time of the alerts so we can investigate this issue.

Needs work

This app is super annoying. It’s very important but even though I have two locations specified, I continue to get warnings from different areas throughout the night.

The warnings need to be able to be selected for only specific areas within Saskatchewan.

Annoying.

Nice to have but keeps blowing up my phone 40-50 times a day with alerts 10 plus hours from where I am. Unnecessary. Why.

Terrible app

Gives me alerts for entire province and never stops sending alerts. I have tried to narrow location but help in app is useless.

Fire location

The app should show the locations of all the fires burning, not just an empty map

🚨This is the best APP for weather & safety alerts!

SaskAlert is the main App we depend upon for severe weather alerts from blizzards to tornadoes - and everything in between. It also gives alerts about drinking water or safety issues to keep us informed. If you want to be both safety and weather-aware, this is the APP for you! This App is a must-have for everyone who lives in Saskatchewan!

Hwy info

Our first snow fall and hwy info isn’t correct lol. I phoned around to my family members who are out driving on their roads to get better information. I sure hope reporting gets better as the season goes on!

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry if the highway information in an alert was not correct. Please contact us at https://emergencyalert.saskatchewan.ca if you notice this in the future.

Alerts with false alarms

The alerts are continuously being sent with nothing ever happening. It’s the “boy who cried wolf scenario” and this alert strategy needs to be worked on to fix this.

I don’t like it

I’m old. I don’t like it.
It would be nice to have but I must be able to shut it off completely.
