Intro

You can use Domo’s NOAA Weather Alerts connector to retrieve weather alerts for any U.S. state or territory from the public National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data. You create an NOAA Weather Alerts DataSet in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the NOAA Weather Alerts connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector. The NOAA Weather Alerts connector is a “Cloud App” connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window.
