Basically this app is not helpful but had me very hopeful! The information I'm trying to view seems to either be revolving consistently, opening another failed attempt to reach the help of lodging etc. and updates but lacking a registration # that merely limits me checking my status updates and wasted my time calling the 800 hotline only to be scammed again by remote fema fakes and more they request info to steal the identity of myself to get more that they don't deserve etc. rea! does it exist

System updated the app to 3.2 this AM among others. Another storm came through this afternoon. This time I noticed that watch updates actually provided location updates and a watch alert was timely. No notices today about "Sorry, something went wrong. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

my main reason for getting the app was because I received fire warnings for Nevada. The app is easy to navigate with a host of useful information.
