So many alerts stopped paying attention to them. Alerts from 3, sometimes 4 counties away
Lucky for me I've not had to apply this app ,but when the time comes a sure guided response is better then no response.thankyou from a 25 +yrs member
It is great everywhere else. but it is not great at mt loaction it is pouring rain here in flood watch and it tells me it's not raining or anything
Good information to have just in case of a rainy day.
Timely, informative alerts. Solid advice. Advises user to locate & contact local resources for planning & for support in emergency conditions.
10 more alerts in less than 30 seconds, so uninstalled horrible apps. I just received 7 alerts in less then a minute for a flood warning. Twenty two alerts from 6:45pm to 9:45 PM, same status! Really?! One is plenty. Let me know if conditions change. I don't need my phone going crazy with alert after alert.
First of all, I want you clarify. This is actually a good app. Good information, good warnings, I do recommend it. However! It is absolutely horrendous on notifications. The same single floor warning will initiate a dozen buzzes on the phone, replicating the warning over and over as different warnings. If you have both Hurricane and Flood apps, you get twice that. They have to fix this!
NOAA postings for all of the areas I have flagged for flash flooding!. No notifications being pushed. The tornado app IS working, so .. it's not my settings! Don't bet your life on this app .. get a radio!
I love these apps and there so fun
Hope lt work trying it for the first time.
Love it . It makes me feel safe
In prepare Q4 it keeps saying I got wrond. I've tried various options even taken some likely ones out & adding unlikely ones in. I chose first aide kit water & flash light at time I've wven included toiletries. How am I getting it wrong? Doubt printer clock soccer ball & guitar are in the preparedness kits. Other than that I like the app. It's informative & helpful.
We the novibots had this idea first we had someone from the red cross came and we talked about our idea then 2 weeks later they had this app no fair
Very informative
Stop nagging me to review. *CRITICAL* -2- inches of fast running water can have enough force to sweep you off your feet, especially on slippery / uneven surfaces. Change it. Do it now. EDIT: Get Espanol off the option bar and put it back in the settings where it belongs. You already asked me three times!
Where ever you live this app should be in you smart phone.
Floods kill more people than tornadoes. This app can save lives. Download it today.
Much needed app - thanks! People think the red cross is only about "blood services" - it does SO much more!
This app can and will help you before, during and after a flood!
It was a good way to learn basic knowledge of floods and how to respond to them.
This is the third American Red Cross app I've installed. I really appreciate them!
This app is a goodway to get the knowledge on how to prepare for a flood
Great information for flood preparation
Thanks
