When a disaster has struck during the night or under adverse conditions (ex. blacked out building), activate your Disaster ID app to help responders visually identify/locate you faster. The color code follows: Red = Children Green = Special Needs Blue = Adults Yellow = Service Animals/Pets Steady signal = I’m OK Flashing signal = Need medical assistance Try the updated version of the Disaster ID app called Visual 911+ app. Visual 911+ not only turns your screen into a visual signaling device, but if networks are up an running it also transmits your general GPS location to your family/friends via email when you activate an "Alert" status, including "I'm Safe". For longer lasting visual signaling capability purchase the original Everything/Tactical Lights at TsunamiLights.com . They will last from 4 to 9 days on a solid color selection and 7 to 15 days on a flashing selection. The Everything/Tactical Light have a lock feature that prevents the lights from being inadvertently changed or turned off. Featuring a last selection memory, the Everything/Tactical Light will turn back on the selected color in case power is lost due to shock received by the light. Everything/Tactical Lights are pressure tested to 200 ft. of water and are combat proven. Buy one for each member of your family and empower yourself and your loved ones to help first responders help you and your family. Great back up emergency lights!

Verdict

The call

Disaster ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sundoggy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sundoggy has 197 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Disaster ID's written reviews are positive against 89% of Sundoggy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Disaster ID ships an update every 21 months, Sundoggy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
