How it works

Pick your county

Text your county and state (like "Jefferson County, KY"), or a ZIP code and we'll find its county. Add up to 5 counties in your account.

We watch 24/7

Every minute we check National Weather Service alerts and FEMA's IPAWS feed of local emergency alerts (CAP).

You get a text

If an alert includes one of your counties, you get a short text with a link to the hazards, live radar and safety instructions.

What you can get

Warnings on

Tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, hurricane, blizzard, extreme heat and more. Danger is happening or imminent.

Watches on

Conditions are right for dangerous weather. Be ready to act.

Local emergencies on

Evacuations, shelter-in-place, civil emergencies, hazmat, 911 outages, boil-water and law-enforcement alerts.

Advisories off

Wind, heat, winter weather, dense fog and other less-severe hazards. Turn on anytime.
