WeatherCall® system continuously monitors the National Weather Service's NOAA weatherwire. Using computerized mapping (GIS) the system compares a subscriber's specific location to the location of the warning area. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you will receive a phone call from WeatherCall, 24 hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed map of the threat or by SMS text messaging.

WeatherCall has delivered over 7 million calls to people informing them of OFFICIAL National Weather Service Warnings, and our customers have learned that when they get their WeatherCall, it will get bad. They have also learned that there is a big difference between being inside a storm-based warning 'polygon' and being out. WeatherCall users frequent experiences include hearing outdoor warning sirens, NOAA weather radios, and not receiving a WeatherCall. If they don't get their WeatherCall too, they know the warning is not for their part of the county. It is a piece of mind most will never live without.

Madison and Jackson Counties' combined 1,885 square miles are under a tornado warning issued on Jan 21, 2010 at 5:30pm. The true warning area is slightly more than 300 sq. miles, representing a 85% reduction in warned area. Only WeatherCall subscribers INSIDE the red box would receive the warning call. WeatherCall subscribers KNOW if they get called they are in a dangerous storm's path.

WeatherCall® for your HOME is a subscription-based service that registers your home or small business's location in our database, and constantly monitors that address for severe weather warnings issued by the National Weather Service which include this location. You may register up to 3 telephone numbers for each address, and ANY TYPE of phone can be called.

WeatherCall for your HOME costs $9.95 dollars per year per address. When you register, the system attempts to assign a precise latitude and longitude value to your location. If you enter a street address the system recognizes, your service BEGINS IMMEDIATELY. If there is a problem determining your location (for instance, a new housing development), there are easy steps to follow for you to locate yourself in the system.

WeatherCall for your HOME is the ONLY service of its type which VERIFIES that a user's location is correct and precise. Because it is so accurate, any error in the map location process can mean the difference in receiving a warning notification or not.

WeatherCall for your HOME is the ONLY service which calls your phone(s) AS MANY TIMES AS NECESSARY as a storm moves through the area.
