Post Notifications and Wind Alerts

Send notifications to your Android or iOS device when a new post is made on the website using either PUSH or SMS and/or also desktop notifications. PUSH and SMS are available to website donors only (within 1 year). PUSH notifications are preferred since they are cheaper for the website. Desktop notifications are available to everyone (they may work with Chrome on Android).
