Virginia property storm monitoring

Address-based storm alerts for Virginia homeowners.

Virginia storm-alert questions

How fast are Virginia storm alerts sent?

Vulcan checks qualifying National Weather Service alerts every 15 minutes. Delivery also depends on when the NWS publishes or updates the warning and on the SMS or email carrier.

Does the service cover every address in Virginia?

The signup flow geocodes the property before checkout. Monitoring is available for verified U.S. addresses that can be matched to National Weather Service alert geometry.

Does this replace official emergency alerts?

No. Keep Wireless Emergency Alerts, weather radio, and local emergency notifications enabled. Vulcan’s subscription is a property-documentation aid, not a life-safety warning system.
