00:00 When it comes to being prepared for severe weather, every tool you need is right here

00:05 in the palm of your hand with the AccuWeather app.

00:08 With the app, you can get watches and warnings to the palm of your hand any time active weather

00:13 is around.

00:14 But here's the thing, you have to make sure your push notifications are turned on for

00:18 your local area.

00:20 Let's show you how to do that in case you need a refresher.

00:22 We'll start with this.

00:23 Go to the three lines at the top left of the app.

00:27 Once you're there, go down to settings.

00:30 Once you're in settings, go to manage notifications.

00:33 Turn on your government alerts and from there you can select the notifications that apply

00:37 to your area.

00:39 For example, here at AccuWeather HQ, we're in State College, Pennsylvania, so we have

00:43 our State College, Pennsylvania notifications turned on.

00:46 But maybe we don't necessarily need them today for Hays, Kansas.

00:50 You can go into edit locations and remove Hays.

00:53 Hopefully this helps you and we will always be here to help you through the storms.
