I didn’t get an alarm during the test just now (my colleague did)- l promptly checked my settings and I have the app to bypass all my silence or do not disturb settings - yet no alarm. Looks like another bug or user error but can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Functions like there was no time for user testing and Regional District training. UX is absolutely dismal. This works like an app from a decade ago. Biggest weakness - no ability to delete alerts. I signed up for emergency alerts. My screen shows Active(7) but only 3 visible one of which is a notice for a past zoning meeting. C’mon, you can do better. There is a serious wildfire situation around me and someone can’t remember to keep the alerts up to date. I’ve edited my info preferences but if users could delete alerts we wouldn’t need to rely on a Regional District employee to do their job! At the very least the screen should be clean of useless information.

I’ve been using this for Osoyoos fire. So far it gave me alerts to my iphone and also my watch. I’ve added all contacts and locations. Just got a notification for my sister’s house which was accurate and clear. This has fantastic potential if it’s dependable and has more features. It’s highly frustrating to have to use multiple apps and sites for updates. Drive BC is another that could be linked to this app. They don’t have an app. Which is ridiculous. So far the sites we use are; BC Wildfires- slow to updateEmergency Operations Centre website, no app - used for map of alert and Evac perimeters etcWindy- for wind direction and weather Drive BC website, no app for escape routes and road closures X- the old Twitter, but it’s cumbersome to see the most recent citizen updates and you must have an account, and it has a limit on number of views per dayIf all could be combined it would be good.

Doesn’t update forest fire issues.
