Government would not allow someone else to do it - see legislation introduced to stop the cajan navy in New Orleans recently during a flood.  Gotta get a permit to help people.... 

Like I said though - they learned from the evacuation traffic jams in the past not to evacuate but to shelter in flood zones so that interstates would not get congested.  Better to not be able to see cars under the water then to see lots of them stuck on the interstate above water.

If there was such an app the people who already made plans to leave would have the app and would be preparing or in progress by the time it turned yellow/red, the people who waited for someone to remind them to download the app to see what color their area is are still sitting on the couch with water up to their rears and will still have to be rescued.
