What is PHapp®?

Free verified alerts from trusted sources — know what matters, know what to do

PHapp — "Know What Matters. Know What To Do." — is a free service that delivers verified alerts from trusted official sources like the CDC, National Weather Service (NOAA), FDA, EPA, USDA, and local agencies. It covers weather, health, environmental, and safety risks in 50+ languages, with guidance on what to do for many alert types. Translations are machine-translated and labeled as such.
