Make sure General Notifications are turned on so WREMO can notify you during a life-threatening emergency. WREMO will send alerts only when personal safety is at risk. Adjust the other notifications to receive only what you want. Remember, this is the Wellington region and you probably won’t want to be notified about every wind warning.
When you get an alert
Follow the advice and share the information on social media or by text with the people you care about.
