Nice app
Fat hoss
Very well done app. Agree with another reviewer that a red flag warning function would be very useful. Tests are cool. Edit 7/6/13. App will be removing the alerts tab and replacing with news. Alerts currently not being updated. Boo!!! How will I know if I am on danger or my friends are in danger without this vital piece to the app. To bad. :(
Could be better

Where's the Yarnell Fire? This fire has been on the country's heart since the tragedy happened! Where is the fire? This app would be great if it showed the Fires!
Pay Attention

This is life savings info. Property damage can be mitigated. Using the app might save one a lot of misery. Of course, planning ahead, so when catastrophic event happen one can avoid panic and act accordingly.

The app keeps crashing. Won't let me add locations to monitor. Please fix. Thanks.
Worthless now that Alerts are disabled

Alerts were a very useful feature of this app, allowing a user to quickly check status and make plans for activities. As of July 3, this feature was disabled in favor of "News", which provides nothing more than links. This "app" has become nothing more than a static informational pamphlet. Sigh.
Terrible
Pat in vegas
We have the largest wildfire in the 48 states going on and it doesn't even show on the map. I expect more from the Red Cross. This is worse than nothing
App was working until 7/3/13
Widget cool
Was a nice app that provided links to all the major fire sites, however you could not go full screen, so once you had the website address typing it into Safari allowed you to see it full screen. Something happened in the 2nd week of July 2013 and they took that away. I deleted the app and reinstalled, but still no data at all. They took away the alerts, and were supposed to leave you the links to the fire command sites, but they removed those as well. Basically the app does nothing as far as provide information regarding the sites near you. Just google fire management and you will find 4 major websites that provide this info and create a bookmark in your browser. This app is no longer functional, when you tap on Wildfires, it just shows a video of a flame burning in the middle of the area in the ocean between North Atlantic and South Atlantic Oceans. Not useful.
