1. SMS Alert Program

LMKwhen sends automated weather alert text messages to subscribers who have opted in to receive notifications for their monitored locations. Alerts are triggered by active National Weather Service warnings and watches that intersect a subscriber's saved locations. Message frequency varies based on weather activity — subscribers in active severe weather regions may receive multiple messages during a weather event; subscribers in quiet periods may receive none.
