Ratings and reviews

Sometimes the alerts don't happen on my Samsung Galaxy. I've allowed notifications on my phone and have checked the settings in the app several times. Just now I received a tornado watch warning from my county. I signed up with the county to be notified of street cleaning schedules but now they're texting about all kind of important stuff. Opened the FEMA app and the warning was in the app but no notification from FEMA alerting me to the issue on my phone. Makes it kind of useless.

Have had this app for a long time, but haven't received any notifications in months even though I have them turned on in my settings. UPDATE 1/9/2024: I am now receiving notifications again, but only because I opened the app. I had the settings changed to where the permissions and notifications would be stopped if the app wasn't in use, so I would check these settings ahead of time if you haven't! I'm hoping this will fix the issue permanently.

UPDATE: It looks as though the update has worked! Hopefully, whatever bug caused the failure doesn't reoccur. :-) It used to work very well for emergency weather alerts, but recently I can't read them. I will get the notification in my bar, but if I click on it to try to get more info, the main app says that there are no weather alerts. Completely defeating the purpose for me.
