Hi James and list, Sorry I'm getting back to you so late. :) I didn't do it that way. I clicked on the secure sign up form link, which will open up a new window. In this window you can put in your name, email address, zip code, cell phone numbers, and check which weather info and other alerts you want. I'll make this easier for you. I'll provide the direct link to the page. :) I'll even place an example of the info on the page below, so you'll know what to look for. A caution though when using your screen reader on the website. I'm using NVDA, and the info seems to scroll on the page without me moving the cursor. At least, I believe that's what its doing. I use the NVDA single-finger hotkeys such as "E" to get to the edit boxes and "F" to find the check boxes and read through the info with the cursor keys. It should be the same in jaws for Windows I am guessing.
The web address for filling out the form is: https://mystateusa.com/alertSignup.aspx I hope this leads you to a successful sign up. Let me know if you are successful or not. God bless!
