Setting up alerts for specific locations ensures that you receive timely updates about conditions that matter to you. The process is simple and can be customized to fit your needs. Below is a step-by-step guide:

1. Sign in to your account
The first step is to sign in. If you do not already have an account, you will need to create one before signing in. This ensures your alerts are tied to your personal profile and can be managed easily.

2. Access the Notification Center
After signing in, navigate to the Notification Center. Here, you will see three options: New, Existing, and All. Each option allows you to manage your alerts differently.

3. Create a new location alert
If you would like to create a new alert, click on New. You will be prompted to enter the following details:

• Label: A name to help you identify the alert.
• Location: Either specify a city and state or enter latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Start and Stop Time: Define the period during which you want to receive alerts.
• Frequency: Choose how often you want updates from the dropdown list (every 12 hours, 8 hours, or 4 hours).
• If you would like to set up multiple locations, simply click Add More and repeat the steps above for each additional location.

4. View existing alerts
To check all your currently active locations and alerts, click on Existing. This gives you a quick overview of what you already have set up.

5. Review all alerts, past and present
If you would like to see both historical and active alerts, click on All. This provides a complete record of all locations and alerts you have created.

6. Receiving alerts by email
All alerts, if available, will be sent directly to your email. Each message includes a link called Get More Details, which provides additional information about the alert. Please note that if the alert has expired, the link may no longer be available. 7. Data source
All weather alert data comes from NOAA Watches, Warnings, and Advisories.
