00:10and Eastern United States over the coming days. The free AccuWeather app has many resources
00:15to help you stay safer and be best prepared. Let's take a look at some of those capabilities
00:19today in the free AccuWeather app. And of course when you arrive at the home screen, you download
00:24and load the AccuWeather app. If you turn on the GPS location, the AccuWeather app can provide you
00:30automatically with the most relevant and localized accurate forecast for where you're at.
00:34But you can also tap up here on the top and go to any location around the country and around the world
00:40by just typing in that up on the top. And then we're going to go back to that home screen
00:44and over to Rochester, Minnesota today where we have a concern about severe weather and the tornado risk there.
00:51So tap on the top bar there and then I can favorite any location that I search in the AccuWeather app
00:57and it's going to ask me if I want to receive notifications. I'm going to press yes on that.
01:01We've had so many people tell us that they love to add in not only their current location,
01:05but places where their kids are located or where their parents live so they can receive relevant warnings
01:10faster than any source through the AccuWeather app as well. And I want to show as well how to turn on those notifications.
01:16And if you tap in the upper left hand corner of the screen, go down to settings and then manage notifications
01:22right in through here. Tap on manage notifications. And when you do that under government alerts,
01:27make sure those are turned on and that will enable you to be able to get those for your current location
01:33plus any location that you've saved. See all those extra locations that you favored in the AccuWeather app.
