The idea
You're not there.
The weather is.
A lake cabin three states away, a rental by the coast, the house your parents still live in. Local news won't reach you there, and the weather apps follow your phone. Herebeat follows the address you choose, and keeps the source and time attached to every alert.
Alerts that say where
Named for the property
Mark a saved place as a property and its alerts arrive as "At your property · Lake House", so you never mix it up with where you are. Hurricanes, storm surge, floods, high wind, fire weather, winter storms and hard freezes that can burst pipes come first.
Alerts come from official agencies, like the National Weather Service and NOAA's hurricane centers, and say who issued them. Herebeat doesn't monitor the house itself: there are no sensors or cameras.

A checklist for that address
Before, during, after
Each property gets its own storm checklist, matched to what that place faces: hurricanes on the coast, floods by the river, wildfire in the hills, hard freezes up north. Tick items as you go; it's kept on your iPhone.
Written from public guidance by Ready.gov and the National Weather Service. It's a starting point, not a complete plan. Follow your local officials.
Someone nearby
Who checks
on it?
Save the neighbor, property manager or relative who can look in on the house, and call or text them from the property card when an alert comes in. Their details stay on your iPhone; Herebeat never sends them anywhere.

Questions
Good to know
Does Herebeat watch the house itself?
No. There are no sensors, cameras or smart-home links. Herebeat shows what official agencies issue for that address: warnings, watches and advisories, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and air quality, each with who issued it and when.
How many properties can I watch?
Any place you save can be marked as a property. Each one gets its own alerts and its own checklist.
Where do the checklist items come from?
They're written from public preparedness guidance by Ready.gov (FEMA) and the National Weather Service, and matched to the hazards that apply to the address. They're a starting point, not a complete plan.
Which places are covered?
Official alerts are deepest in the US, with many other countries covered through their national weather services. The app shows what's covered for an address before you subscribe.
Is this an emergency alert system?
No. Keep your iPhone's government emergency alerts on, and follow local authorities in an emergency.
