Hazard information & alerts

Alerts and maps have limitations

Hazard information, boundaries, forecasts and notifications may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or unavailable. A hazard may occur before it is reported, outside a displayed boundary, or without any Campmora alert. The absence of an alert, map overlay or reported incident is not an assurance of safety or an all-clear.

Campmora depends on third-party data, device-reported location, internet access, Apple notification delivery and operating-system permissions. Service outages, source errors, battery settings, device restrictions, the app being closed or force-quit, and inaccurate or stale locations can prevent or delay alerts. Enabling alerts does not guarantee delivery, continuous monitoring or detection of every hazard.

Use official warning systems

Keep multiple ways to receive official warnings, including Wireless Emergency Alerts, NOAA Weather Radio and local emergency alerts. Monitor the National Weather Service and local authorities. Follow current evacuation orders, road closures, park restrictions and emergency instructions. Do not wait for Campmora to warn you, and do not use it to override official guidance or conditions you observe.

Fire perimeters are reported mapped boundaries, not measurements of the current flame edge. Smoke layers are satellite observations and are not ground-level air-quality readings or health advice. Weather alert areas and forecasts do not describe conditions at every point within them.

Additional observation and closure layers

Air quality readings are preliminary values for published reporting areas, not measurements at an individual campsite. Lightning is a 15-minute area-density observation on an approximately 5-mile grid, not an exact strike location or a proximity warning. Park notices may concern only a named road, trail, campground or part of a park; a marker at a park reference point does not mean the whole park is closed. Road-condition coverage uses selected official sources in California, Washington, Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina, Montana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, Oregon, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. Austin and Nashville are city-only coverage, not statewide Texas or Tennessee coverage. Oregon data is credited to ODOT; ODOT’s data disclaimer applies. Missouri data is credited to MoDOT; its data disclaimer applies. New England data is credited to MaineDOT, NHDOT and Vermont AOT; its data agreement and disclaimer apply. Only current reported closures and active chain controls are shown; future work is excluded. Other states, local roads and incidents may be missing. Always check the linked official source and posted instructions.

Location and personal choices

Background hazard alerts require a signed-in account, an explicit subscription, allowed notifications and Always location access on a supported app. Campmora checks the latest received position, which expires after 6 hours without an update; your actual position may have changed. Map filters are independent of alert subscriptions. Review your permissions and alert settings, prepare for changing conditions and make independent safety decisions using official information.

No guarantee or warranty

To the extent permitted by applicable law, hazard information and alert features are provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties concerning accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uninterrupted availability or fitness for a particular safety purpose. Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.
