~~~ NOAA WEATHER RADIO INFORMATION ~~~
THE BEST WAY TO RECEIVE TORNADO WARNINGS, HAZARDOUS WEATHER INFORMATION, AND OTHER EMERGENCY ALERTS
NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service office.
NWR broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts, and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you and your family do not have an NOAA Weather Radio, please get one today. They can save your life! They can be purchased at Kroger, CVS, and Wal-Greens. Chambers County EMA will be glad to program it for you!
Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an "All Hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Federal, State, and Local Emergency Managers and other public officials, NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards – including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages).
Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes 1000 transmitters, covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal.
As a secondary way to receive alerts (always have more than one way to receive emergency weather alerts!), please download a free weather app to your cell phone.
