About this data

Alerts come from the National Weather Service API and are checked every 5 minutes. We show warnings, watches, advisories and statements for land areas with their official text unchanged; marine-only alerts are not listed. An alert that covers several states appears on each state page. Times are local to the issuing office unless marked UTC.

Live Earth Watch is not an official warning service. We show data published by government agencies; for warnings and instructions follow your local emergency officials and the National Weather Service.
