How to use PHapp® on the web

Read alerts in your browser — no download or sign-up needed

Use PHapp® Without Downloading Anything

You don't need to install an app to use PHapp®. Just open ph.app in any web browser — on your phone, tablet, or computer.

How to Get Started

  1. Open your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or any other browser)
  2. Go to ph.app
  3. Enter your location to see alerts for your area

That’s it — no download, and no account needed to read alerts. On the web, PHapp® does not send push notifications; sign in if you want text (SMS) alerts or your settings kept in sync across your devices.

What You Get on the Web

The web version of PHapp® includes:

  • Real-time alerts from trusted sources (CDC, NWS/NOAA, FDA, EPA, USDA, and local agencies)
  • Available in 50+ languages (machine-translated, and labeled as such)
  • Guidance on what to do for many alert types
  • No ads, no data sales, no tracking

Who Is the Web Version Best For?

  • People who prefer not to install apps
  • Users on shared or public devices
  • Anyone who wants quick access without creating an account
  • Agencies sharing a link with residents

Other Ways to Access PHapp®

PHapp® is also available as a mobile app for iOS and Android, and via text/SMS alerts (currently in beta). All three channels deliver the same trusted information.
