Download Denver Stormshield App to Keep Updated

Denver winter weather can be very unpredictable at times.  Mountain snow storms are normal during the winter season, but you should always stay updated on winter weather storms in your area.  Channel 7 Denver has created an app called Storm Shield that allows you to see current weather storms where ever you are. This app can be used on either iPhone or Android phones that delivers up to date warnings from the National Weather Service.  After downloading the app, you can input up to 5 locations depending on where you live, work or vacation.  Your phone will receive updates based on each location and severe weather patterns.  These updates are available 24 hours a day and will allow time for you to prepare for a storm or seek shelter. 

Storm Shield uses the "Polygon Warning System" that allows you to pin point the exact effected area.  This allows the app to contact a specific area versus the entire county and people not in the area.  Storm Shield also uses geo-location to determine if you are in a storm path.  Even if you are outside of your 5 locations, this app will contact you if a storm is headed your way.

This weather warnings are important for your winter safety, it is vital that these warnings and updates are quick.  Storm Shield will use its database of subscribers and warn the people closest to the storm and fan out until all users are notified in time.  This app should notify all users within minutes of the National Weather Service warning.

Depending on your location, you can also choose what type of warnings you would like to be issued.  If snow is the largest problem in your area, you can be informed of all snow warnings quickly.
