APPLE WATCH
As a disaster notification comes in on your Apple Watch, you can initiate Family Safe which notifies loved ones who are in the affected area of the disaster. Loved ones can instantly see the alert details and respond with their safety status (safe/not safe), along with seeing tailored “what to do now” information. If they’re not safe, you instantly know their location and they know what to do to get themselves safe.

Too many alerts for Hawaii
ywycoco
I think there should only be alerts for each island of Hawaii, or maybe just Central, East, West, etc. I get way too many duplicate alerts for each "neighborhood" on Oahu - it's kind of ridiculous.
A Red Cross Winner!

A comprehensive variety of Red Cross information with no superfluous data to detract from its goals.
Fund raising
Miketsd
Information available on other apps. Download this if you want emergency alerts that are fund raising solicitations. Will delete this app.
Could be good

This app notifies you of everything! I set it to only warnings with in 1 mile of my home yet it gives me the whole county & the only time I need that information is if I’m traveling. I just Got a Vegas center report for Barstow and while I do live in SB county I live 87 miles away on the other side of the Cajon pass. I also get Vidal junction notifications out of Phoenix and I do travel that way to Az a few times a yr. Vidal junction is 175 miles away.
Crashing

The alert comes in, then the app crashes! I have no idea what the alert is or where the weather issue is.
Emergency app

I’ve had this app for at least a year and I’m highly satisfied with the alerts I get from each area of the USA. I have family in several states and I’m able to know what’s happening at each area.
It’s a spammer
Una Happy
Sends so called emergency alerts but when you open it... it’s simply a fund raising request to help “those in need”. Don’t need more spam in my life.
Sends donation notifications
TallTrailRunner
This app just ask for donations I already get asked 12 times a day for donations I don’t need a 13th
Works very well
ShadierSky
Works well did not even know we had a threat coming and I got the alert quick!
Needs work

The app doesn’t follow the user settings. It’s giving me information about a tornado alert more than 50 miles away that doesn’t even impact my direct area in anyway shape or form. Being in the fire service I rely on quality data to be able to make decisions in this app is definitely not up to par I would not recommend it
