SC Emergency Manager 12+

Huge disappointment

I decided to download this app because I thought it would be great to have in case of emergencies. I turned out to be horribly wrong. This app is nothing but a sick and twisted form of torture. You can have your phone on silent and everything but this app will still go off. And what makes it worse is that it’s not a normal type of notification. This notification will be a deafening siren type of screen like a war is about to start. This siren has woken me up multiple times throughout the night for the same notification that I have clear. One notification for anything will go off at least four time but they will be a couple of hours apart. So you will have no chance of peace. One of my ears are damaged because they of this app. And I almost wrecked my car once this morning because of it. This app is supposed to save your life but instead it puts you in danger. If you really want to be safe just download an app for your local news and weather channels. You will get the same notifications. They will just be a lot less detrimental to your wellbeing. Please don’t download this app. I do not want anyone else to experience what I have. Your experience might be a lot worse and no app is worth your life. Or you physically or mental well-being. I wish you
all the best.

Thank you

We think you might be confusing our app with Wireless Emergency Alerts issued by the National Weather Service and other agencies when a life-threatening emergency exists. The SC Emergency Manager is not connected to these alerts for the very reasons you describe. While you may receive push notifications through the app, those are quiet and you have the ability to deactivate them. The SC Emergency Manager is all about you and your personal emergency information. While we understand your comments, we hope that you reconsider your review given that it was not this application that sent those alerts. Feel free to contact us at mobile@emd.sc.gov.

Great little app to add to your emergency toolbox

This is a great little app to add to your emergency toolbox. It has tools you can use to help your family prepare for and emergency and should one occur, there are tools you can use to keep you informed.

Focused on Citizens

This is a great app for personal preparedness for citizens. As an Emergency Manager, I highly recommend this app for everyone. We should all be prepared to be self sufficient for at least 72 hours, this app provides the guidance one needs for surviving a disaster.
