Watch Duty sends you notifications for incidents in the counties you choose. Add a county to start getting its notifications, or remove one to stop.

Before you start: Notifications are only available in the Watch Duty app for iPhone and Android, and the app needs permission to send you push notifications. If you haven’t allowed this yet, see Why am I not receiving notifications?

Add notifications for a county

1. Open Watch Duty and tap the Main Menu (☰)
2. Select Notifications from the main menu.
3. Select Notifications.
4. Tap Add County.
5. Select the counties you want to receive notifications for.
6. Tap the back button.

You can select up to 4 counties with a free account. For paid memberships, you can add an unlimited number of counties.

Remove notifications for a county

1. From the Main Menu (☰), select Notifications.
2. Tap Edit next to the county you want to remove.
3. Select Remove County.

Notifications you won’t receive

You won’t receive notifications for prescribed burns or for silent incident updates. To learn more, see How Watch Duty Notifications Work?

To stop notifications for a single fire or flood without removing a county, see How do I mute or silence notifications for a specific wildfire or flood incident?
