APPLE WATCH
As a disaster notification comes in on your Apple Watch, you can initiate Family Safe which notifies loved ones who are in the affected area of the disaster. Loved ones can instantly see the alert details and respond with their safety status (safe/not safe), along with seeing tailored “what to do now” information. If they’re not safe, you instantly know their location and they know what to do to get themselves safe.

Customer Reviews
iPhone app works but Watch app does not
I have no problems with the iPhone app. But the Watch app never opens, just crashes. Makes it a less than useful app for me to use. I would use it again if they fixed the Watch app.
New Update Crashes Constantly
UPDATE: the latest app update corrected the crashing problem. The much anticipated new features are much appreciated and work flawlessly.

EARLIER:
I was thrilled to read the description of the most recent update, as it addressed many if not all of my concerns and then some. Sadly the app crashes constantly. How troubling at a time when there are weather warnings in my area. Please dig under the hood their folks, and straighten up that code. We're counting on you with our lives!
