WHNT Alabama SAF-T-Net® is free to every resident of the State of Alabama. It is a fully automatic weather warning system that's simple to use and more specific than an outdoor warning siren. This app allows you to input up to four places to be monitored for severe weather alerts, including your smart phone’s current location. WHNT Alabama SAF-T-Net will alert you through push notifications about impending weather danger in those locations (for example - home, work or school). Then, take steps to 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:
• Storms entering your area
• Dangerous Storm Approaching
• Twisting Storm Approaching
• National Weather Service Watches and Warnings (county and polygon):
• Tornadoes
• Severe Thunderstorms
• Flash Floods
