These alerts are very unhelpful and extremely spammy. I went from rarely getting safety alerts, and only getting them when they are somewhat useful, to getting them multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. Ring is an app I use for home security and to get notifications related to neighborhood security, not snow, high-wind, or red flag warnings. Today I got a fire alert, red-flag warning for my area, and another red-flag warning for an adjacent county.

These alerts are more annoying and helpful. I get weather from my weather apps. Ring should stay in their own lane and focus on security. I didn’t hire you to watch the Weather.

Late to the discussion, but searched for a way to turn off weather alerts. Living in the climate I do, this is non-stop. So since we can't turn them off, I started Reporting Post. Flagging them as "Unhelpful, Repetitive, or Inaccurate", then "unhelpful" which states: "Does not have enough information to be used for solving a crime or improving safety". Weather alerts have no use on a crime / safety app, and I feel the "unhelpful" flag will be enough for Devs to disable them, especially if others start doing the same.

I cannot stress enough: THIS FEATURE NEEDS TO BE DISABLED. As someone who loathes most all spammy notifications…. I keep Ring enabled obviously, with priority, so that I know anytime I do receive a notification… that it’s SOMETHING IMPORTANT. - And not something stupid like Facebook or the like. Now, i’m also forced to be notified for something insignificant like a Flash Flood Watch or something else.. less important. The fact that you can’t disable these ‘weather’ notifications is nothing short of ridiculous.

This is infuriating enough that I just turned off ALL Ring notifications. I don't need Ring to tell me there is a heat advisory. If Ring wants to do dumb stuff like this, I'm happy to look for an alternative.
