You Are So Wonderful Giving Me A Message About Alberta Emergency Alerts
An emergency alert for me all the way outside north of Edmonton, but for Calgary? Come on
Seriously need to adjust the emergency alert radius and notifications. There is no reason for an update. I know this is support for the app, but still this is ridiculous. There needs to also be different sound notifications for amber alert vs an actual emergency that would actually impact a population. My sympathies to the amber alert but come on.
Please add vulnerable people
Please add vulnerable people to the list of people that can use this app.
Lack of updating to current alerts
This app is ok for alerts 24 hrs after they are posted. But their website just alerted about a tornado watch for multiple cities and towns and the app doesn’t show anything for the entire province. Super unreliable.
Area of alerts
I just received an alert for an area approximately 200 kms away from my location.
Alberta Emergency Alert App
This Alberta Emergency Alert app is pretty helpful of sending emergency alerts and warnings in your city and your cities surroundings in the Alberta area but it can get somewhat annoying when it’s sends alerts constantly but that shows of how good this app is and of how helpful it is. The most thing that annoys me if that when your wearing headphones the alerts is pretty loud when listening to music with high volume, their should a be way to adjust the volume of how loud or low you want the sound of the alert to be in the Alberta Emergency Alert app settings.
Does this do anything?
Does this app do anything anymore? It’s been dead silent all summer.
Updates
Need more updates on current alerts.
No sound
I have all my alerts on and set properly, but still no sound. 🤷🏻♀️ I actually have to go look at the app. What good is that?
Alert notification should be louder & longer
I downloaded this app when the text alert system wasn’t working properly. I like that I can choose my locations, that the info is clear and gives a map option as well. However I could only give 3 stars as it is almost impossible to hear the alert if you’re not right by your phone. I have the volume set to the loudest but the sound is so short that it’s easily missed. I doubt it would wake a person up if sleeping. Couldn’t the notification sound be more like the one on the text alerts? That one is annoying but it grabs your attention. I have checks all settings and I can’t find a way to make it better.
Weather Alerts
Extremely useful, timely alerts with notifications.
No contact & questionable settings
[I took screen capture, but I can't add them here.] Within the application settings, the type of alerts and options include avalanche, earthquakes, road conditions, air quality… But I don't see tornadoes. Is there a different alert system for this? You would think it would be on here? No answer, because when I try to press the "contact" link below "frequently asked questions," the link is a dead end and does not bring me anywhere. In addition, I tried to go onto the App Store, click the link, there, for app support, but it just gives me the Alberta government website with no clear direction on how to reach anyone in regards to the app. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Has this app been discontinued in Alberta? No idea.
Tornado warning for Nanton
The warning came while the storm was in town not before. I realize some of these weather systems happen quickly and I do appreciate having this warning system in place
Maps
Your maps need to be updated and more interactive. We should have the ability to zoom in and see Lots of detail. Bring your APP into the 21st century.

Alerts and status of evacuation alerts Not updating For Grande Prairie
Great!
Amazing for this
Unread vs read alerts
I have checked the box so I am only supposed to see unread alerts. The alerts do disappear when I read them but I then exit the app and when I reopen, all the read alerts reappear I. The unread list.
Good app to have
Great app to have, only thing I’d like to see change is what alerts are put in there. The Saskatchewan alert app literally gives every alert possible. Like severe thunderstorm warnings. If the Alberta app can be updated to show all the alerts like the Sask one does, it will get five stars from me. As a storm chaser being able to get all severe thunderstorm warnings would be a+
Need more info & updates
Hello! 1) Perhaps I’m not not looking in the right place, but as someone who does not live in Alberta, I need more detailed information on maps. You name a ‘general area’ (ie. Wood Buffalo) but seeing the red area on the map isn’t helpful to me, as I don’t know where towns and cities are located!! 2) Updates are way too slow- ie. Today is May 12, 2024, but the last update for a Critical Area was at 5:13pm YESTERDAY. Hourly updates would be much more useful - especially in critical conditions. 3) Maybe the following information is included on the Dashboard on the Alberta Wildfires page, but personally, I find that page a little confusing and includes too much information that’s not relevant or important at that moment to the people in the affected areas. It takes (me at least!) way too long to navigate through the page. I want something fast & simple that I can see as soon as I open the map. Besides the names of towns & cities, (and wildfire identification number), two things I WOULD like to see on the map (especially in the critical areas) are: a) In every hourly update, outlines on the map showing areas that the fires have moved through in one colour, impending immediate threat in another colour (red), and potential areas of concern in another colour. b) Along with that data, the current wind speed and direction in the outlined area, as well as the estimated spread rate of the fire would be VERY helpful. That would allow people to visually track how fast the fire is moving, amd make them aware of sudden changes in wind speed and direction. (ie. Is the following formula for calculating spread rate what is used by officials? Measurement used for critical areas is 10% of the Windspeed? So: 50 km winds= spread of (roughly) 5km/hour. So if a fire was 25 miles away, an ‘estimate’ (in critical/dry conditions) would be that the fire would be upon you within 5 hours. If that IS a relatively accurate ESTIMATION tool (I believe research has deemed it to be so), it would provide people with another tool that would help them prepare for evacuation. However, I DO realize that wind speed & direction can change drastically without warning, (as we have sadly witnessed in the past) so I think it is imperative that this is CONTINUOUSLY EMPHASIZED in every update. Just my thoughts and opinions on what would make the map/app more beneficial for me personally, and most importantly, I believe for residents of Alberta! Thanks! Patti
Blasted Through Headphones
Great app in a lot of ways but no way to stop it blasting the alert sound through my headphones! Relatedly, please make it possible to look at what is going on in the whole province while only getting alerts from specified areas.
Alberta Emegency Alert
Awesome alert app for anything that needs alert
It’s 2025 not working
App still isn’t working. Please fix it or advise people to go to your website for updates!
Absolute Must Have ! All provinces should have like this
Stay on top of Alerts.. Info(s) within provide valuable information to inform and assist during emergency situations.. Even tho I’m in Ontario, I appreciate the notice(s) received, that i may contact family and friends, to ensure their safety with a quick text or call... the app must please issue more detailed map(s) with smaller towns and road names/#’s, be a major plus. Detailed mapping would helps determine proximity to dangerous zone(s) and egress in emergencies (fires, etc).. Stay safe out there
AB wide?
I get an alert at Beauvais Lake saying I am no longer in the area
Can’t disable loud alarm noise
Downloaded this app to try and keep more aware of ongoing emergencies. But I’m uninstalling now as there’s no way to disable the very loud and obnoxious alarm for certain emergency notifications. It’s the same one we already get forcibly sent to all mobile phones from the government. There is absolutely no need to double-startle me by additionally sending the alarm through this app. Very dangerous and distracting to get these alarm notifications while driving, or for people struggling with ptsd.
Weather Alerts
Best App for severe weather events! Only App I fully recommend! Would not do without it! It’s the most reliable.
Maps
Make the affected area maps useful. Show details about the fire, not just county boundaries.
App
I have alberta as one of my areas for alerts. All the fire go and app says nothing happening WHY would that be
Thanks.
I appreciate very much your updates. I consider the communication since the catastrophic water main event to have been excellent. I’m a very ordinary Calgarian, although I don’t watch TV news. I rely on my phone and computer to update me. I know a lot about this issue through your YouTube presentations and alerts through these up dates. Thanks for keeping me informed. Thanks. It been easy to follow your rules regarding water use, as has most uncomplaining quiet Calgarians.
Waste of Alberta Taxpayers Money!
This is the absolute worst emergency alert system on the planet! You may as well wait to see the flames for all the app shows you! It doesn’t tell you where the fire is, what direction it’s heading, how large the fire is, what speed it’s travelling, etc… For all the technology we have, maybe someone that knows about it should have designed the app or maybe you should have gotten a 5 year old to design it because they could have done a better job!!!
Font size
On the AE alert Facebook page, could you please write the location of the emergency in a more prominent font so we aren’t forced to go to the app. Sometimes the location is difficult to spot but time may be wasted going to the App trying to find out if it is near you.
Thanks!
Thanks for updates and keeping us safe!
Very confusing to use
App gives bad or outdated information
Everyone in Alberta needs this
Excellent app
Poor
The quality of the app is poor the alerts are often times not visible and even as I’m typing I can’t see my text it’s a bit buggy
