WindShield - Wind Protection

Stop wondering what a wind advisory actually means for YOU.

WindShield translates official weather data into personalized, actionable recommendations based on your specific property and situation.

WHAT MAKES WINDSHIELD DIFFERENT?

Every weather app tells you the wind speed. None of them tell you what to DO about it. WindShield bridges this gap:

• Wind Speed Translation: "What does 45 mph actually mean?" We explain the real-world impact on your property, driving, and outdoor activities using clear, everyday language.

• Personalized Action Checklists: Based on YOUR property profile (outdoor furniture, trampolines, grills, awnings, pools, pets), WindShield generates a custom checklist of things to consider before the wind arrives.

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

• Wind Forecast: See upcoming wind conditions for the next 48 hours so you can plan ahead.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set up your profile in 30 seconds (property type, outdoor items, vehicle)
2. WindShield monitors wind conditions for your location 24/7
3. When significant wind is detected, you get a personalized preparation checklist
4. Check off items as you complete them
