Settings and about
Pick your island and text size, turn on warnings, and see where Kilo's information comes from.
Your island

Text size
Makes every word in Kilo bigger. Your phone's own text setting still works too.
Warnings on this phone
Get shelter openings, evacuations and warnings for Hawaiʻi Island as notifications. What is happening and what to do are in the notification, so you can read it with no signal.
Your county's own alerts
