A NOAA weather radio can save your life. Every home, every office and every school should have one.
As the chief meteorologist of STORM TEAM 3, it’s our priority to alert you to severe weather. But what if this severe weather happens in the middle of night when you are asleep? Or maybe severe weather hits when you don’t have on your TV?
This is why everyone needs a weather radio.
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) weather radio is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby National Weather Service office.
NOAA weather radio broadcasts National Weather Service watches, warnings, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.
Some weather radios are equipped with a special tone feature, which can sound an alert and give you immediate information about a life threatening situation. During an emergency, the National Weather Service will interrupt routine weather radio programming and send out a special tone that activates weather radios in the warning area.
Weather radios range in prices. The fancier the radio, the more it will cost you. Here’s a website that can help you understand the differences. The website even recommends different models.
