Disaster Preparedness Starts With You
Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance: how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different disaster situations. The SD Emergency app contains disaster preparedness information, like:
• The ability to create your own emergency plan
• The ability to build an emergency supplies kit
And when disaster strikes, the SD Emergency app will keep you and your family informed with:
• Emergency updates
• Interactive emergency maps
• Shelter locations
• ShakeReadySD Earthquake alerts from USGS
• Interactive earthquake maps from USGS
Notification: A known defect exists in this release in which, under certain circumstances, earthquake reports are not displayed in the app. This defect does not affect Earthquake Alert functionality.
Plus, the app features a recovery section with resources during the aftermath of disasters.
The County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services (OES) created the SD Emergency app to better prepare and inform San Diego County residents and visitors about disasters. With SD Emergency, the tools you need to plan, prepare and respond in an emergency are right at your fingertips.

SD Emergency FAQ
Is SD Emergency free?
Yes, SD Emergency is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is SD Emergency legit?
⚠️ The SD Emergency app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
Yes, super not helpful…get a notice about a fire nearby and when I open to look??? A notice about getting signed up for earthquake notifications….and it just won’t go away!!!! Deleted and reloaded, tried providing access, still ended up with that notice blocking all access…whomever designed that, now is you microsecond of fame….
Please, for our safety, put your marketing geeks on a leash!!! The government REALLY IS INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHERE WE ARE EVERY MINUTE…but this is offensive and dangerous.
Good emergency info but earthquake false alarms
I like how it is easy to get emergency info in one app. But the big problem is I just got a false alarm for a moderate earthquake nearby and nothing happened! Consequently, I disabled the earthquake alert functionality.
Alarm Fatigue: Alerts are too frequent
I was just woken up two times about a 5.5 mag earthquake one hundred miles from me. Why?! I deleted the app. Love the idea is the app, but if you send a blaring, loud notification about nothing in the middle of the night, the app kinda loses its purpose.
No flooding info
Zero information on the locations or severity of flooding throughout San Diego.
Disappearing notifications
The app seems to give me loud, annoying notifications, which show very little text on the Lock Screen. If I tap on them there, they often don’t appear in the Disaster Info, so I never know what they were about. I have Location Services set to share my location with the app Always. I suspect that the app filters messages not applicable to my location out of Disaster Info, but the developer forgot to apply that filter to Notifications.
False Alarm
I have had this installed for less than 24 hours and it sent a false earthquake alarm. It said earthquake detected one mile from my location and to take cover. However, when I look at the map, it shows the event more than 150 miles from my current location.
All the location settings and privileges are enabled and my VPN is off, so those are not the problem. If I cannot trust emergency alerts from an emergency alert application then it is useless. Advice to the product owner for this project: do not enable features in a beta state for this type of software. An emergency alert application should be reliable and well tested or not available for download at all.
Earthquake alerts go off too frequently
The earthquake alerts go off for any earthquake in the state regardless of distance! Please fix this!
San Diego emergency App
I really liked this app cool features. Then it wanted me to update for earthquake alerts apparently makes your phone shake. Anyway now it is stuck with the new feature staring me in the face but I can’t close it move it or do anything else it is frozen. Supposedly there is an update which might fix it but I cant find that. Don’t want to delete and lose my info.
Shake alert freezing screen
iPhone is freezing with single panel red on white typing describing upgrade but cannot exit screen and complete upgrade
Design mat be better
The app may be cool; however, the design & layout may be more Modetn of 21st century
