NVS Tsunami Evacuation

I live on the edge of an inundation zone, so I was delighted when this app was released. It's the kind of app that could really save lives in my community and so many others, and I'm incredibly grateful for the science and expertise behind it. Here is something that would be a game changing improvement on the current build: how about sending an audible notification ONLY when the alert does not specify that there is no threat? That way, I don't have to chooose between getting a potentially life-saving alert and getting wakened on the regular by non-threatening events. I am not sure if there is an upside to waking me up only to read that something does not pose a threat. It seems like the downside - that users silence the notificications altogether at night - defeats the purpose of the app. Thanks for considering my suggestion, and thanks again for working on this important project!

I really appreciate the care that went into designing this app. What drives me nuts is getting an alert on my phone for distant earthquakes that “do not pose a threat.” It is especially bothersome at night. Would love to see an update with either NO audible alert for earthquakes that don’t pose a tsunami threat, or the ability to choose whether to get alerts for nonthreatening events.

My local map even shows the creeks correctly on and near our property. It is a wetland and they have changed over the years - this one is up to date. It shows a tsunami from a local earthquake going much higher than we thought it would, up the creeks to over 70’ elevation! This has changed where we need to plan to go to get out of the inundation zone. A feature I like is being able to enter an address or your current location as a marker on the map. A pop up will tell you which zone you are in. You can edit labels for the markers. I wish I could find a way to delete markers I put in by accidentally touching the screen, though. I rated it 5 stars despite this because it easy to use, and provides so much trustworthy information which could save lives and suffering.
