TyphoonGuard helps you watch over the people and places you love in the Philippines, even when you’re overseas. You may be in Dubai, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Hong Kong, or anywhere else in the world, but your heart is still back home. With Lola in Tacloban, your children in Marikina, your parents in Bicol, or your brother working on-site in Cebu. Most weather apps tell you what is happening across “the Philippines.” TyphoonGuard tells you what is happening at the exact places that matter to you. Drop a pin on a loved one’s home, school, farm, workplace, or barangay. TyphoonGuard quietly monitors that location and sends clear, location-specific alerts when typhoons, squalls, severe wind, or official storm signals may affect it. No app or account is needed on your loved one’s phone. Just set the location once and stay informed. Know what’s coming, where it matters TyphoonGuard gives you plain-language alerts such as: “Typhoon Kalmaegi: Lola’s House is now inside the 72-hour forecast cone. Closest approach expected Wednesday, 6:00 AM PHT.” “Strong squall approaching your brother’s construction site in Cebu in 28 minutes. Take cover recommended.” “Signal No. 3 raised for Tacloban area. PAGASA bulletin available inside the app.” Built for families spread across the world TyphoonGuard is made for OFWs, overseas families, grandparents, siblings, and anyone who needs to keep watch from far away. Use it to monitor: Family homes Children’s schools Farms and fishing communities Construction sites Barangays and provinces Workplaces and evacuation areas Multiple loved ones across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao What TyphoonGuard gives you Location-based typhoon alerts for your saved pins Official PAGASA signals shown alongside enhanced forecasts Live squall tracking with estimated arrival times Landfall probability, storm motion, and closest-approach timing Multiple saved locations for family members and important places Full alert history so you can review what happened while you were asleep Cached data and in-app alert history for times when connectivity is limited Clear source labels so you know what comes from official bulletins and what comes from enhanced forecasting Free to start Try TyphoonGuard with 3 saved locations for 10 days. Subscribers can keep unlimited persistent pins, making it easy to watch over parents, children, farms, workplaces, and relatives across the country. Made for Filipino realities Storms move fast. Power and signal can fail. Families are often separated by oceans, work contracts, and time zones. TyphoonGuard turns distant worry into clear, actionable information. We use trusted weather data sources, including Himawari satellite imagery, Open-Meteo models, and PAGASA bulletins where available. Official information is clearly labeled. Enhanced forecasts are marked separately. TyphoonGuard supports, but does not replace, official government guidance. Peace of mind when you can’t be there.
