TornadoAWARE powered by DisasterAWARE

Know the moment a tornado warning covers the places you care about — and what really happened afterwards.

Add up to five places — home, work, school, Mom's — and on any morning tornado or severe-weather activity touched them, we tell you what happened, with the history of what's hit there before. Alerts the moment a warning newly covers one of your places are coming this season.

A Tornado Warning covered Home (Moore, OK) — inside the warning polygon, not nearby. NWS called it radar-indicated. Sample from a past event; your reports use live warnings.

What you'll get

One place to understand tornado and severe-weather risk at the places that matter to you.

Every morning

A morning report

By 7 am your time, on mornings when something touched your places (or every morning, if you ask): which of your places sit inside an active tornado warning, severe thunderstorm warning or watch, how far the hazard edge is from each, and what changed since yesterday.

When it changes

Alerts when it matters — coming this season

We're building it now: when a warning newly covers one of your places, escalates, or clears, one email — bundled, capped, and quiet overnight unless it's a tornado warning. Until it's live, the morning report carries everything that happened at your places.

Always

Your places' history

How many tornado warnings have covered each place since 2014, the nearest surveyed damage path, the strongest rating, and the months it happens. Plainly written, so "does my town get tornadoes?" has an answer.

A real report, from real data

This is what lands in your inbox. Built from an actual NWS tornado warning that covered Moore, OK — labelled as a sample.

We say where your place sits relative to the warning polygon, in miles to the hazard edge — not "near".

"Radar-indicated" or "observed" is shown wherever NWS says it — the question you're asking while sheltering.

How it works

Add up to five places. A city or a landmark works as well as a street address — we only need a point to measure from.
Confirm your email. Nothing is saved until you click the link.
Reports arrive on mornings when something happened at your places, or every morning if you tick that box. Alerts for warnings that newly cover your places are coming this season.

TornadoAWARE is context, not a siren. Wireless Emergency Alerts, NOAA Weather Radio and local sirens are the official warnings and are faster in the first minutes — we are typically a few minutes behind the National Weather Service.

Questions

How fast are the alerts?

Warnings typically reach our data within a few minutes of NWS issuance, and we check for changes at your places every few minutes. That makes us a context layer, not a siren — see the note above. Official channels remain the first warning.

Do you need my exact address?

No. Pick a city, a neighbourhood, a landmark or a postal code if you'd rather not share an address. For a city we treat the whole city as your place, so you're covered if any part of it is in a warning.

What's the difference between a watch and a warning?

A watch means conditions favour tornadoes over a wide area for several hours. A warning means a tornado is indicated by radar or has been seen — act now. Warnings trigger alerts; watches appear in your morning report.

What does "radar-indicated" versus "observed" mean?

NWS warnings say whether a tornado was detected by radar or actually seen by a spotter. We surface that flag in every alert because it's the question you're asking while sheltering: has someone actually seen it?

Is it really free?

Yes, for up to five places. If you need more we're planning a paid plan — you can tell us on the signup form whether you'd use it.

Who is behind this?

DisasterAWARE, the hazard-intelligence platform built by DisasterIQ and used by Pacific Disaster Center, emergency managers and enterprises worldwide. TornadoAWARE puts the same data in front of individuals.

How do I stop the emails?

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link and a manage link where you can change places, pause, or delete your data.

Need more than 5 places?

We're planning a plan for up to 20 places at $8/month — would you use it?
