Features & Capabilities

Disaster Alert (PDC Global) is a free mobile app that delivers critical global hazard alerts and safety information. Built on the PDC DisasterAWARE platform, it provides near real-time updates for 18 hazard types as events unfold, enabling individuals and communities to stay informed anywhere in the world. Active hazards are prioritized, and alerts are updated from the most reliable, scientifically verified sources; when official data is unavailable, teams update alerts manually to minimize delays.

Key features include customizable alerts by location and hazard severity, estimated impact reports, and visualized hazard data on an interactive map. The app supports multiple languages, location-based onboarding, and flexible user preferences, allowing registered users to tailor alerts while guests can browse the map and basic information. It also offers background map customization and overlays for population densities and other data layers, helping users assess risk and plan responses.

User Reviews

Disaster Alert offers broad, worldwide disaster and weather information with timely alerts and helpful mapping to aid situational awareness. Users appreciate its informative content and global scope, but report reliability and UX drawbacks. Common complaints include missing or delayed home-region alerts, notification bugs and noise, navigation and login issues, and occasional crashes or poor support. Overall, it’s valuable for global awareness when it works, but reliability and usability need improvement.

This is a stunning wealth of information. It would be helpful to have the blue GPS marking your immediate location. It would also be extremely helpful to have the ability to filter notifications by time, for example, past 24 hours, past week, past month, and over one month ago.
