Worthless

The most blatant and obvious issue with an app such as this, is that youre assuming that youre going to have a cell phone and/or wifi signal sufficient enough to receive any information on any sort of disaster AFTER it has happened. What cell phone service that is accessible is generally bogged down with everyone trying to call their loved ones at the same time, which will also render this app completely useless. If you need updates, get a solar powered am radio and look into cell phones that use GIS and satellite technologies...

By FEMA releasing this, it sheds a bit of light at just how brain-dead this completely useless agency is. An app to be used on a device that will not work during a disaster? Good one…

The bottom line is that an educated and prepared populous is ready to act when needed, and we certainly dont need to rely on the Federal Government to tell us something has already happened- heck, they release an app that will never work during a disaster! Theres a hurricane or a giant asteroid rocketing toward earth? Great! Your local authorities are all you have ever needed. Stay informed without having your hand held by the Feds. Stock up on what you and your family needs, learn how to be resourceful and learn how to read a map and shoot an azimuth.

After this post in iTunes, this app gets deleted! While this may be a cynically-laced review, Im simply trying to be frank about an app that is just completely stupid in every way, shape and form. Everyone has the tools they need- and that is your senses and common sense.
