Weather Radio
and All Hazards Radio Information: |
|
| 24/7/365 Weather Information - The NOAA Weather Radio - NRW - network provides official government - commercial free weather information. Weather and All Hazards Radios provide an important link to current weather conditions and emergency warnings. The NOAA Weather Radio ( NWR ) service broadcasts non-stop 24 hours per day. Current weather conditions as well as forecasts and outlooks are relayed from the National Weather Service through the NWR. When weather warnings and watches are issued, NWR is able to send an alert to specially equipped radios. These radios are able to be set to sound an alarm when an alert has been issued. Coverage in the United States is estimated at 97% of the population. If you would like to check out the coverage for your area, visit NWS' coverage maps. Specific Area Message Encoding ( SAME ) is the method that NWR uses to 'wake up' weather radios with this feature. First, a SAME equipped radio is programmed to listen for alerts in a specific area. This area is usually by county and state. Once an alert is issued for that specific area/county, the radio will wake-up and play the audio from NWR or sound an alarm or both, depending on the capabilities of the SAME equipped radio. |
