Storm Shield App provides storm-based alerts for tornado, hurricane, flood, thunderstorm, winter storms and other life-threatening weather events via voice and push notification.
"Storm-based alerts help reduce false alarms by alerting you to severe weather based on your exact location within a county," according to Storm Shield's developers. "Conversely, traditional county-based alerts can result in false alarms, warning you when your location in the county is not within the threatened area."
In addition to severe weather alerts, users of the app can view NOAA severe weather alerts on the map to see where dangerous weather is happening.
Multiple weather layers including radar, clouds, snow cover and more can be viewed on the map.
