Disaster Alert (PDC Global) - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Disaster Alert is a free mobile app for public use that provides the global community with critical hazard alerts and information needed to stay safe anywhere in the world. Built on PDC’s DisasterAWARE platform, Disaster Alert offers near real-time updates about 18 different types of natural hazards as they are unfolding around the globe.

With Disaster Alert, you can customize early warning alerts, view estimated impact reports, and access visualized modeled hazard data. Disaster Alert’s continuous stream of new information is automatically generated from the most reliable, scientifically verified sources. When no official source is available, alerts are updated manually by Pacific Disaster Center, presenting only a small lapse of time between the time of an event and the availability of information in the system.

Hazard updates provided with Disaster Alert include only active hazards. “Active Hazards” are part of a collection of recent incidents that have been designated as potentially hazardous to people, property, or assets by PDC.

INCLUDED HAZARD TYPES

*Automatically processed in near real time:Hurricanes (tropical cyclones / typhoons), earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanos, floods, wildfires, U.S. tornados and winter storms.

*Manually Processed: Marine hazards, storms, droughts, and manmade incidents. High surf advisories, high winds, and flash floods are available for Hawaii only.

NEW IN VERSION 7.5.4

*Default theme: The PDC theme has been applied as the default theme in Disaster Alert. The PDC theme integrates DisasterAWARE branding, colors, and iconography. Different themes may be applied from the User Preferences menu.

*Multi-language login and registration: Disaster Alert users will be able to login and register in a variety of supported languages other than English. There is a dropdown selector at the top of the form that allows the user to change the language option.

*Onboarding: We have introduced a new first-time user app setup feature Disaster Alert to allow customization of the alert location and hazard severity. This screen is displayed for all users upon update from prior version(s) to 7.5.4 as well as new installations. Users will be given the option to sign op, login, or skip directly to Disaster Alert as a guest without an account. Alert preferences may only be customized by registered users.

What a terrible app

I downloaded the app some time ago and couldn’t remember my password so asked for a password reset. The link they sent didn’t work and after several attempts I can’t even get into the app so I have now removed it. I wouldn’t recommend anyone even bothering with this app as it is totally useless.

Pretty Decent

It was decently accurate with Hurricane Fiona, still have the app to this day.

Keeps Bugging & Lags up to 5 minutes ...

Application needs inprovement as it's slow, keeps shutting off, and sometimes lags up to 5 minutes.

Good for quick reference

Overall the App is acceptable. I am happy with the information provided

Doesn’t work with Voiceover Activated

Very interesting and informative app but when I am hearing about children starving in Somalia there is nothing listed in the app, however the app will show a lot of droughts happening down in America. In the list view it will only read three or four items before it stops, could you please fix this.

Detailed and Pleasant

I would first like to thank the developer and crew who work hard & make the efforts in making the app I find very detailed and accurate. Would recommend this app and will continue to use your free product.

Old version was way more easy

This app is ok but the old version wasn't as complicated much cleaner and more user friendly , its like they trying to include too much too many layers and its just muddy

Hi there !

Reliable informations if not controlled by nasa

Very good....

But inconsistent in loading.

Update not as good as older version

This is harder to navigate on
