Field notes
The homepage presents a single location-based check against active National Weather Service tornado alerts, then surrounds it with short preparation guides. Its supporting material distinguishes watches from warnings and addresses two concrete situations—finding a safer shelter and responding while driving. The site also states that it uses device location only for the area check and does not intentionally store precise GPS coordinates.
