Severe Weather Alerts

The National Weather Service (NWS) provides alert and warning
information through official dissemination sources, including NOAA
Weather Radio, NOAA Weather Wire Service, and Weather.gov to the
public, and the iNWS service for core partners (emergency management
community, water resources management community, government partners
of an NWS office, or members of the electronic media who need direct
interaction with NWS).

The National Weather Service does not provide direct email/text alerts
to the general public. For hurricane-specific information, see
Hurricane Information. For tsunami-specific information, see Tsunami
Information website.

Here is a list of commercial alerting resources for various delivery options.
