FAQ

How do these alerts work?

There is no official public API for Home Front Command alerts. Consequently, all open-source projects listed here are unofficial wrappers and integrations built around the Home Front Command's internal data streams.

Should I rely on these for my safety?

No. These are community projects and may experience downtime, delays, or inaccuracies. Always use the official Home Front Command app and your local municipal alert system as your primary source.
