StormReady
A hyperlocal Atlantic hurricane prep app for coastal residents that builds a personalized 7-day checklist tied to the live NHC forecast cone for any storm heading your way.
Residents of the US Atlantic, Gulf, and Caribbean coasts who want to be ready long before a storm arrives
- Personalized 7-day prep checklist (supplies, documents, pets, medications) keyed to your home and family
- Live NHC forecast cone overlaid on your home address with probability of impact
- 'Time-to-act' countdown if a storm's probability of impact crosses your threshold
- One-tap share with family members so everyone sees the same plan
Tropical Storm Bertha and visible El Niño signals in the Atlantic mean an active season is starting — coastal residents want a single app that connects the cone to their actual to-do list, not just a radar map.
Digital Trends and Hurricane Insider both run active 'best hurricane tracker' roundups; NOAA publishes a dedicated hurricane-prep hub — clear sustained consumer demand around storm season.The best hurricane trackers for Android and iOS in 2024 ↗Mobile Apps For Hurricane Preparedness - Hurricane Insider ↗
Crowded trackers (NHC Data, Weather Channel, RadarOmega, HurrTracker, VortexWeather) focus on radar/cone display, not a personalized 7-day prep checklist dynamically tied to the live NHC cone — that intersection appears underserved.The best hurricane trackers for Android and iOS in 2024 ↗VortexWeather - Advanced Hurricane Tracking & Weather Maps ↗
Digital Trends notes most hurricane apps are free + ad-supported with optional premium tiers (e.g., HurrTracker Premium); willingness to pay exists but is capped by the free official NHC app as the baseline reference.The best hurricane trackers for Android and iOS in 2024 ↗HurrTracker Premium ↗
Hurricane season is a recurring annual need and NHC cone/advisory data is a permanent public program; warming oceans + active El Niño signals point to long-tail demand across many seasons.Hurricane Preparedness - NOAA ↗National Hurricane Center ↗
Multiple free/cheap APIs expose the cone and advisories (NWS API, NHC public products, Weather Company Tropical Forecast-Cone API, Xweather tropical cyclones) — building a checklist layer on top is straightforward.API Web Service - National Weather Service ↗Tropical Forecast - Cone API - The Weather Company ↗
