Receiving Timely Weather Alerts through NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards

Описание: Having a way to receive weather alerts is critical to ensuring your safety during an emergency. There are many ways to receive alerts including television, radio, smartphone apps, websites, and word of mouth. It is important to ensure you have multiple ways of receiving alerts and that they are reliable and credible. The National Weather Service is the only source for official weather watches and warnings. One of the most reliable ways to receive alerts is NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmosperic Administration) Weather Radio. NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service office. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts official warnings, watches, forecasts, and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In conjunction with federal, state, and local emergency managers, NOAA Weather Radio also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards, including natural, environmental, and public safety. That means you’ll also receive alerts regarding earthquakes, avalanches, chemical releases, and AMBER alerts.
