Severe Weather Alerting and More
Free to every resident in the state of Alabama, Alabama SAF-T-Net® (Specific Alerting for Threats) is a fully automatic weather warning service that’s simple to use and more specific than weather sirens. You can set up to four places to be monitored for severe weather, including your smart phone’s current location. Through push notifications, this complementary Alabama SAF-T-Net app will alert you to impending weather danger in those locations (like home, work or school), so you can protect your family by knowing what’s coming.
Choose to receive any or all of these alert types:
• Special Baron alerts with the patented Baron Tornado Index (BTI) rating and a 15-minute lead time, hyper-localized to your monitored locations:
o Storms entering your area
o Dangerous Storm Approaching
o Twisting Storm Approaching
• National Weather Service Watches and Warnings (county and polygon):
o Tornadoes
o Severe Thunderstorms
o flash Floods
Use it Every Day
The Alabama SAF-T-Net app is also a powerful everyday weather app, with nationwide radar, satellite imagery, current conditions and more.
