## What is MapAlerter?

Ireland's severe weather season is coming — get ready with MapAlerter, the free, location-based alert service trusted by communities across Ireland for over 15 years.
MapAlerter sends real-time alerts straight to your phone for the issues that actually affect you, filtered to your exact area rather than a whole county. Add your Eircode or home location once, and you're covered.

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS UPDATE
This is one of our biggest updates yet, in time for Autumn/Winter 2026:
• River Height Alerts — get notified when river levels near you start to rise, so you have advance warning before flooding becomes a problem
• Bathing Water Alerts — water quality notifications for bathing spots and beaches, so you know before you go
• Public Submissions — report an issue directly through the app in areas where your local authority accepts public submissions
• Smarter Push Notifications — faster, more reliable alerts with clearer detail
• Improved Account Management — manage your subscriptions, locations and preferences more easily
• Redesigned Live Map — cleaner, faster, and clearer when you tap a marker
• Better Search — find your area, an alert, or a location faster
• Refreshed Interface — a cleaner, modern design throughout the app
• Adjustable Text Size — read alerts comfortably, your way

ALERTS FOR WHAT MATTERS
Depending on your area, you can receive alerts for:
• Severe Weather Hazards (fallen trees, storm damage, power lines)
• Flood Alerts & River Height Warnings
• Bathing Water Quality Alerts
• Road Closures & Diversions
• Water Service Alerts & Boil Water Notices

This is one of our biggest updates yet, bringing new alert types and a series of improvements across the app, all in time for the severe weather season.

In areas where your local authority supports it, you can now submit reports directly through the app, helping flag issues in your community faster. You have the option to attach issue photographs with your submission.

IMPROVED: Push Notifications
We've rebuilt how alerts are delivered so notifications arrive faster and more reliably, with clearer, more useful detail at a glance.

IMPROVED: Account Management
Managing your saved locations, alert categories and notification preferences is now simpler and more intuitive.

IMPROVED: Live Map
The Live Map has been redesigned to load faster and present alerts and hazards more clearly, with better detail when you tap a marker.

IMPROVED: Search
Finding your area, a specific alert or a location is quicker and more accurate.

IMPROVED: User Interface
A cleaner, more modern look throughout the app, designed to make everyday use easier.

NEW: Adjustable Text Size
Choose a text size that's comfortable for you, across every screen in the app.

As always, MapAlerter remains free to use and continues to be trusted by communities across Ireland, with over 15 years of service behind it.
