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. *User registration email: Disaster Alert now supports additional registration email formats for plusaddressed (aka sub-addressed) email formats for new user registration forms. OTHER KEY FEATURES *Customizable alerts based on your geographic area of interest and hazard severity *When the map tip is activated by selecting a hazard on the map, users can get estimated impact information by choosing the "More Info" link and viewing Hazard Brief. * Interactive map interface displays 18 different types of active hazards *Customizable background maps *Map layers with overlays for population densities, global cloud coverage, and more. ## Disaster Alert (PDC Global) Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/5b/5a/6a/5b5a6ad8-6b5d-4ce6-9670-afd65ad01e91/199138a2-6cee-48d4-8136-49821fbbba46_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.51.02.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/f7/d8/5c/f7d85c8d-95a1-0f32-420b-f2265f785441/85f64e6a-efec-4662-b421-429f1c61e06e_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_16.04.16.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/8e/26/71/8e267123-589e-97a6-618c-73c59f1a38e4/14c483ba-adc5-41cc-a156-a94a9f72be79_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.52.53.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/80/aa/00/80aa0039-dd5b-bf7b-2dd6-ff0b24f572e1/f8dcb3b8-b893-480d-814f-71110d3faf33_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.52.30.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/a6/96/3a/a6963a9c-6f81-0ca7-d96c-602b15c0c1b9/1b1250c8-89ce-4184-8607-62b200c0db15_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_16.02.27.png/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource126/v4/c7/44/1c/c7441cb6-7ee5-7ec8-996a-ea385e2e75a3/bb397795-a8aa-4893-8714-04e12359bdd2_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.59.43.png/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource112/v4/d0/2d/74/d02d7488-be32-b067-1058-13cf518244a1/012e69ad-eb42-42a7-b86b-602dd842885f_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.58.02.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource112/v4/17/02/05/1702052d-2003-9cb0-34da-04c40544e062/01a29ef2-9326-4ede-b724-67d4fc6c77b4_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.55.05.png/2688x1242.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource122/v4/c6/59/69/c6596973-e273-b995-b564-b4738fcf7c3a/46a50846-a223-433f-8adb-f561bd6c5a51_Simulator_Screen_Shot_-_iPhone_Xs_Max_-_2022-03-21_at_15.54.48.png/2688x1242.png) ## Disaster Alert (PDC Global) Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 274 (61%) - 4 stars: 82 (18%) - 3 stars: 31 (7%) - 2 stars: 21 (5%) - 1 stars: 41 (9%) ## Disaster Alert (PDC Global) Reviews in United States ### *---- "Stopped working" Stopped working 😳 -- NeedsOversite, 2026-02-19 ### ***** "Needs gps and time filter" This is a stunning wealth of information. It would be helpful to have the blue GPS marking your immediate location. It would also be extremely helpful to have the ability to filter notifications by time, for example, past 24 hours, past week, past month, and over one month ago. -- SGeeuu, 2024-12-21 ### ***** "Accurate information" This app provides the most accurate in depth info on natural catastrophes. -- climate4u, 2024-11-21 ### *---- "Used to be Very Good. No Longer." Update: I didn’t think it could be possible, but this app has gotten even MORE USELESS than stated in my first review. This app is based in Hawaii, where I live. It is currently advising that the Big Island is under a high wind advisory. Every other reporting service (at least 6), is reporting that we are under a tropical storm warning! They’ve been reporting and updating their info continuously for days, while this app has remained totally silent about Hawaii, reporting instead only on Peru, Brazil, Saskatchewan, and the Southern US, among other places . . . BUT NOTHING FOR ITS HOME STATE OF HAWAII! Why are we paying tax dollars to support this stupidity and craziness?!?! My advice is to download more timely and accurate apps (NOAA, weather, local news, Red Cross, etc.) if you need to keep abreast of and prepare for potential disasters. This one is totally useless. Too bad. It used to be one of the best, back in the day. Now, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. 😢☹️😡 Go sit in the corner with a dunce hat. Stop collecting our hard earned tax money and get your funds from the countries you do report for. We need a break and an app that gives us useful, timely, and accurate information. This hasn’t been it for a very very long time. This used to be my first choice app for keeping current with emergencies in our area. However, they have “improved” it to the point of making it useless. Our area has rather frequent flooding rain storms. This app used to give timely and accurate notifications as soon as they were posted by Civil Defense. Now, the app gives notifications, but instead of giving useful information, it will almost always state that the notice has expired - even just seconds after the notice was posted! IT IS UTTERLY USELESS! Now, after the most recent update, it won’t clear the notifications count. It will clear temporarily, but as soon as there is another notification, the count will return showing the number of ALL of the notifications since the update, not just the current number. I have found the Red Cross Emergency app to be much more accurate and informative. -- Wildstar8, 2024-08-24 ### ***** "Professional app" Thanks for hard working -- MB5 😎, 2024-07-19 ### ***** "Peace of mind" Living in a volatile part of the world, this app keeps my mind peaceful. Many thanks for your quick responses to disasters. -- PinkLight32000, 2024-01-09 ### *---- "Very poor design" From the get-go this app has a poor mobile design. Did the sign up with a capital letter first in my username. All seems fine till you try to login. No matter what you do the username is lowercase forced! This flaw means you can not login. Fire the designer. I’m going to delete the app now -- Lazrus7, 2023-09-17 ### *---- "Useless" They give constant notifications about things happening all over the world that arent even disasters. Idc about a flood in lebannon. I tried to edit the preferences and they made me create an account. No thanks i will just delete. Good idea terrible execution. Dissapointed. Just goofy honestly -- ModernDayMartyr, 2022-09-27 ### ****- "Better than it used to be" Could use some graphics simplifying. Remember, it’s a phone or tablet app; not a laptop or desktop version. KISS principle -- Retired GI, 2022-09-17 ### ***** "Amazing app with so much data" I had to take this off my old phone when it ran out of memory, but I re-added it on my new phone immediately. It is fascinating, albeit a little alarming to see problems all around the world! It’s amazing to realize that our lifestyle here in the United States is responsible for so many earthquakes, floods, volcanoes and droughts all over the planet! To think that all hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and health pandemics are the fault of fat lazy Americans driving Hummers makes me sad to be breathing air on this precious planet. Naturally NONE of these things ever happened before America came along. I’d kill myself it this app weren’t so darn interesting. -- Tektura's, 2022-07-15 [View all Disaster Alert (PDC Global) reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Disaster Alert (PDC Global) Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Ecuador | News | #76 | | Top Free | Brazil | News | #135 | | Top Free | Denmark | News | #138 | | Top Free | Philippines | News | #155 | | Top Free | Indonesia | News | #185 | | Top Free | Peru | News | #198 | | Top Free | South Africa | News | #252 | | Top Free | Australia | News | #256 | | Top Free | Ukraine | News | #287 | | Top Free | Chile | News | #301 | | Top Free | Dominican Republic | News | #303 | | Top Free | Malaysia | News | #327 | | Top Free | New Zealand | News | #360 | | Top Free | Thailand | News | #417 | | Top Free | Pakistan | News | #451 | | Top Free | Romania | News | #451 | | Top Free | Vietnam | News | #462 | | Top Free | Czechia | News | #466 | | Top Free | Greece | News | #467 | ## Disaster Alert (PDC Global) Discovered Keywords -
