Developer’s Description

By Scripps Media
Storm Shield provides storm-based alerts like a NOAA Emergency Weather Radio.
Storm Shield is a potentially life-saving app that is like a NOAA Emergency Weather Radio. Get storm-based alerts for life-threatening weather events like tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorms and more via voice and push notification.*** HOW WEATHER ALERTS WORK ***Storm Shield uses storm-based alerts, which are more precise than county-based alerts (like what you see on TV). County-based alerts can result in people at one end of a county receiving alerts for weather that will not impact them.If your current or saved locations fall inside a NWS watch or warning box, you would receive an alert from Storm Shield.If your locations are just outside a watch or warning box (even though you may be in the storm and the county), you would not receive a warning from Storm Shield.If you are alerted from another service, but do not get an alert from Storm Shield, check the alert type overlay on the interactive map to see if your location (as compared to your county) is affected.*** WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ***"A detail-rich app for weather bugs, with an emphasis on smart, active, automatic alerts for severe weather...
