List of Alert Types

Hi psj,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Azure Maps provides a Severe Weather Alerts API that returns various alert types from official government meteorological agencies and weather providers globally. Similar to the National Weather Service, Azure Maps supports a wide range of alert types. Examples of weather alerts you can receive include:

• Flood Warning
• Heat Warning
• Air Quality Alert
• Coastal Flood Advisory
• Severe Thunderstorm Warning
• Tornado Watch
• Hurricane Warning
• Blizzard Warning

These are just a few of the available alert types, and the API continues to evolve over time with potentially new or modified alerts based on regional data sources. The service categorizes alerts based on severity and type, which allows you to integrate it into your applications for real-time weather notifications.

For more detailed information on how the API works and the alert types available, you can review the Azure Maps documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/maps/weather/get-severe-weather-alerts?view=rest-maps-2024-04-01&tabs=HTTP.
