NH Alerts
The State asks all New Hampshire residents and anticipated visitors to New Hampshire to download this application to be informed of situations that may immediately affect the public’s safety.
The New Hampshire Department of Safety Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management may send messages to residents and visitors throughout the entire state, or send messages to specific geographic areas to notify only those persons who may be immediately affected by a local emergency. Examples of emergency warnings may include lockdown notices, viral outbreaks, chemical spills, evacuations and active shooter situations.
The app is completely customizable by the end user who may select the types of warnings they would like to receive in the app’s settings. NH Alerts does not collect or store any personal information and the app does not require an account to function. NH Alerts is powered by CodeRED, a community notification system used by public safety organizations across the United States and Canada. NH Alert users may also receive localized CodeRED alerts through this application as they travel outside of New Hampshire to other communities who use CodeRED.

Constantly crashes since the last update - Sad and sadly expected the vendr to review and reply...but..guess my expectations are set to high
I like this app bc it tells you when you need to seek alternate routes so you don't end up in traffic.
Crashes as soon as its opened, never even got to use it
Keeps crashing. Not useful at all.
Constant crashing. It's junk.
Doesnt work half the time !
Crashes every time I go into "Settings". Update 08/04/2020 Won't even run. Had to uninstall it. The "Weather Rock" dangling outside my window is FAR more reliable.
Crashes too often. I wrote this in Jan /17 and it is now June and it niw crashes when trying to edit settings. Please fix this app.
This app is great but it keeps crashing when I'm trying to view emergency alerts in my area. The weather warnings are fine, it's just the active emergency alerts. Please fix this so I can use the app to it's potential.
My first two EMERGENCY alerts were for a road closure and a rusty water condition in towns that are 30 miles away from where I am. I do not consider these emergencies even in the loosest terms. I am uninstalling.
The app crashes when I click on an emergency.
It repeatedly alerted of the same thing. Then when I opened the alert, it would take 5 minutes to load the alert, and the map would constantly start me in Africa, as I type this the app has gone off twice for the same alert that I opened... Also, wouldn't it be a cool option to show the weather patterns on the map? I mean if it is going to constantly alert me of a wind chill show me how cold it will be throughout the state or if there will be a major storm show me where it is raining. So I have to delete it
It sounded like a great idea, but all I got were notifications but it wouldn't load What the warning was 👎
I am uninstalling this right now. It's awful. Keeps sending me the same alerts over and over and when I try to open them I get a map of Africa and the alert never actually loads and I just get error messages.
Brings in nothing relevant. All the alerts I've received so far have been for far outside my set range. I don't care what is going on in Massachusetts. I live and work in New Hampshire. That's why I loaded this app.
Needs faster refreshing. Also am getting outside Nh and New England messages some empty Hopefully Emergency Management at the state level has more input
I wonder why the app needs access to my pictures and other media files? Update: thanks for the reply. It's irritating that Android has such broad permission categories.
get a notification, launch the app, just see spinning circles - worse than useless, because people may think this is reliable.
I keep getting notifications that there's a new alert. When I open the alert I get an error saying no alerts found or sometimes as an alert with the title of test and no details. I think someone is testing the system and doesn't realize they're impacting all users.
High battery usage, could be a detraction
Nothing loads!! Always getting a load error. Waste of time!!
Uses a lot of battery 👎
You have it right in the docs that in case of a lawsuit you will provide my information to other parties and that you will obey any request by the authorities. I'm far from the only person taking issue with how you are treating data. Why don't you take a more protective stand on user data? You say any request from authorities in the application and you say a judges request in your response so which do you really mean.
I'm in Newport and have set my alerts for a 10 mile radius and did not select travel alerts. However, I receive multiple travels alerts for 25+ miles away. Got so annoying I uninstalled the app.
useful for emergencies at state & local level.. you can set for alarm or just check yourself. I just check myself as I was getting too many alerts for other areas of the state.
