There was a massive uptick in the app's use after Hurricane Harvey in Texas and it works over wi-fi, even if the cellular network goes down.  Granted, if you lose power and don't have wi-fi or cellular network, this won't work.  But it's MUCH better to be prepared and take as many precautions as possible.
