00:00 When it comes to being prepared for

00:02 severe weather, every tool you need

00:04 is right here in the palm of your

00:06 hand with the Accuweather app.

00:07 With the app you can get watches and

00:10 warnings to the palm of your hand

00:12 anytime active weather is around.

00:13 But here's the thing you have to

00:15 make sure your push notifications

00:17 are turned on for your local area.

00:19 Let's show you how to do that

00:21 in case you need a refresher.

00:23 We'll start with this.

00:24 Go to the three lines at the top left of

00:27 the app once you're there, go down to

00:29 settings once you're in settings,

00:31 go to manage notifications,

00:32 turn on your government alerts,

00:34 and from there you can select the

00:36 notifications that apply to your area.

00:38 For example,

00:39 here at Accuweather HQ or in

00:41 State College Pennsylvania.

00:42 So we have our State College

00:44 Pennsylvania notifications turned on,

00:45 but maybe we don't necessarily

00:47 need them today for Hays, Kansas.

00:49 You can go into edit locations

00:51 and remove haze.

00:52 Hopefully this helps you and we will

00:54 always be here to help you through the

00:57 storms.
