Scaffold monitors NOAA weather data and sends you an instant alert the moment a storm with significant hail hits any zip code you're watching.
Go to Storm Tracking in the left sidebar.
Click Add Watch Zone and enter the zip codes or city names you want to monitor. You can add as many zones as needed.
Set your alert threshold — the minimum hail size that triggers a notification (typically 1.0 inch for insurance-eligible damage).
Choose your notification method: push notification (recommended), email, or both.
Click Save. You'll receive a test notification to confirm alerts are working.
When a qualifying storm hits one of your watch zones, you get an alert with: the affected zip codes, estimated hail size, storm timestamp, and a link to launch canvassing mode for that area.
Add all zip codes in your service area — not just your city. Storms rarely follow municipal boundaries.
Storm data refreshes every 15 minutes from NOAA's public database. Alerts fire within minutes of a confirmed storm event.
