NVS Tsunami Evacuation

The app shows good information about tsunami risk zones, etc. However my main interaction with it , unfortunately, is it sending me alerts for distant Alaskan earthquakes that “do not pose a tsunami risk” for my current location. I turned off sound for thesein IOS Settings, but they are still useless and annoying. The app should provide a way to filter out alerts for earthquakes more than a specified distance away from my location, and earthquakes that cause no tsunami risk for my location.

I live on the edge of an inundation zone, so I was delighted when this app was released. It's the kind of app that could really save lives in my community and so many others, and I'm incredibly grateful for the science and expertise behind it. Here is something that would be a game changing improvement on the current build: how about sending an audible notification ONLY when the alert does not specify that there is no threat? That way, I don't have to chooose between getting a potentially life-saving alert and getting wakened on the regular by non-threatening events. I am not sure if there is an upside to waking me up only to read that something does not pose a threat. It seems like the downside - that users silence the notificications altogether at night - defeats the purpose of the app. Thanks for considering my suggestion, and thanks again for working on this important project!

Every hour on the :30, I’m being notified the Tonga tsunami warning for the PNW is canceled. So far today, I’ve gotten *19* notifications. I can silence notifications or uninstall the app.

I really appreciate the care that went into designing this app. What drives me nuts is getting an alert on my phone for distant earthquakes that “do not pose a threat.” It is especially bothersome at night. Would love to see an update with either NO audible alert for earthquakes that don’t pose a tsunami threat, or the ability to choose whether to get alerts for nonthreatening events.

My local map even shows the creeks correctly on and near our property. It is a wetland and they have changed over the years - this one is up to date. It shows a tsunami from a local earthquake going much higher than we thought it would, up the creeks to over 70’ elevation! This has changed where we need to plan to go to get out of the inundation zone. A feature I like is being able to enter an address or your current location as a marker on the map. A pop up will tell you which zone you are in. You can edit labels for the markers. I wish I could find a way to delete markers I put in by accidentally touching the screen, though. I rated it 5 stars despite this because it easy to use, and provides so much trustworthy information which could save lives and suffering.

So glad that it has updated so that I can use it again!!

This is the only app that provides you with the most up to date tsunami hazard areas for OR and WA. Great for people who live, work, or play on the coast. SUPER COOL new feature also sends you tsunami alert texts. Nani’s got me the tsunami alert 4 minutes faster than other mechanisms I’m signed up for. This app is also more easily accessible to more users than the national weather service one but provides the same authoritative information. Great app!

Everyone living along or visiting the Oregon or Washington coast should have this app. It shows tsunami inundation zones, evacuation routes, high ground, and assembly areas. I use it every visit to the coast to check local inundation zones and fastest route to high ground. Use it to plan your family’s evacuation strategy and safe meeting place. Note that roads will likely be jammed with cars and the fastest route will likely be on foot.

A complete re-development of the original app. More responsive and more capabilities. The app allows the user to locate themselves anywhere along the Oregon/Washington coast and determine where they are relative to mapped tsunami evacuation zones. Great job!

Guys, In IOS This is like an eighth of a panel. Info is good but. Ok, I get that you’re all droids but really! Done and done. Delete
