Having weather alerts on your cell phone could help save you and your pets.
It’s crucial to stay updated on the changing weather patterns and the increasing occurrences of natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, floods, and heat waves. Setting up a weather alert on your phone is highly recommended, especially if you have pets. Evacuating early is important as weather conditions can shift rapidly, and delay could mean missing the crucial window to leave safely.
