WindShield translates official weather data into personalized, actionable wind alerts based on your specific property and situation. The free wind alert app that turns weather warnings into a clear plan of action.

★ WHAT MAKES WINDSHIELD DIFFERENT

Every weather app shows wind speed. None of them tell you what to DO about it. WindShield bridges the gap between forecast and action.

• Property Risk Score: A simple 1-10 score reflecting your property type, outdoor items, vehicle, and nearby trees. Updated for every wind event.

• 48-Hour Wind Forecast: See upcoming wind conditions so you can plan ahead.
