Push Notifications

After installing, open the app and allow notifications when prompted. You'll receive push alerts for severe weather warnings, tsunami advisories, and other emergencies. You don't need to be actively using the app, but keep it in your recent apps — don't force-close it from the app switcher. On iPhone, push notifications only work when installed as a PWA (Add to Home Screen) — they do not work in the regular Safari browser.
