Useful for figuring out what zone I'm in plus the new weather maps are great.

Dave Schiffman

No evacuation info No evacuation info, only a map that shows what color different areas are but doesn't actually show if any or what color is being ordered to evacuate. Shows nothing. Total waste. I don't care that my area is in a yellow area if there is no legend to tell me what yellow means! Who is being evacuated? What color? Waste of my time looking at this stupid app.

Don't bother.. Only the city of Jacksonville would prepare an app that doesn't work, doesn't load the right information, can't find location services, can't Jacksonville ever get it right?

Natalie Zdanovec October 6, 2016

Not working, just lovely Hurricane Matt

Tarik brown October 6, 2016

Use local news station All is useless

John Wiegert October 6, 2016

Works fine Better than nothing helpful knowing my evacuation zone as well as current status of shelters

Matthew Buska October 6, 2016

Doesn't work

Rodney Davis October 6, 2016

Very hard to navigate

Brian Wilson October 6, 2016

I have had no issues with the info

Arthur Bides June 6, 2016

Pure garbage Here we are in the middle of a tropical storm and the app is not updated with any information. And the links in the app are out of date. This app is useless.

Nick Sartor August 30, 2016

No longer maintained This application appears to be abandoned. It's not at all up to date and provides inaccurate information. Use one of the local news stations instead.

Fix the back button This app needs to be designed for android so our takes advantage of the back button. It feels like a second rate iOS port. Jacksonville a big enough city they should be able to handle that.

Brandon Quig May 1, 2013

Not there yet Android back button causes app to quit entirely. Also, needs more information on evacuation procedures so we can be prepared. Says I'm not in an evacuation zone even though I'm in Duval county - I don't know if that means that it thinks I'm in another county or what. App needs to explain that better.

App review This app is relatively informative, as is it's function, but there are quite a few features that need improvement. The maps and radar are a little confusing, not enough explanation. Also, the evacuation feature isn't very informative. I am considered zone 2 yet it doesn't tell me what zone 2's limits are. It also doesn't give any explanation of an evacuation route or shelter location. I understand we aren't being threatened at the moment, but shouldn't we be informed so we can fully prepare?

our city is proactive! pleased with what's available on app. but android users are used to the back curled arrow to go back to prior screen. this has a back button more like iphone and we exit app in error with our curved arrow. now I finally know I live in evac zone 1. maps were confusing.this is clear.

A Google User June 1, 2012

Couple of things... Good idea and I like it. Hitting the back button closes the app down, need a few more numbers(non-emergency and such).

A Google User May 30, 2012

Thank u mayor... Nice step, low cost, info sharing app. The news stations did a horrible job on beryl.

A Google User June 11, 2012

Nice app! But.... Seems very useful, but like others have said, hitting the back button on your phone closes the app -please fix

A Google User May 31, 2012

Nice Job In honor of the hard working, anonymous individuals that put this together and never received their thank you.

A Google User May 31, 2012

Cool! Works well, and nice info all in one place. On initial view, anyway. Actual workability in the event of an axial 'event'...remains to be seen.

A Google User May 30, 2012

Back button Like a previous post said the back button shuts it down. I use the android system. Otherwise nice app mayor.

A Google User June 1, 2012

Fabulous It's a well put together app. Does have one issue ... when you click on the back button, it closes the App. Other than that, it works great.

A Google User May 30, 2012

Broken Back button shuts down app.

A Google User May 30, 2012

Please Include Police Non-Emergency Number

A Google User June 1, 2012

A Google User May 31, 2012

I am ready! I feel the power of preparedness at my finger tips!

A Google User May 31, 2012

wow Great job

A Google User June 2, 2012

Great!

A Google User August 26, 2012

Needs far more work... Doesnt give any more info than yahoo weather or the weather on my phone desktop. Not the fastest updates. As all said, shuts down app on Androids. OK for free but uninstalled as beats battery down.
