WEATHER RADIO

ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM

The National Weather Service (NWS) is a government agency within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that operates the nationwide radio network known as NOAA Weather Radio (NWR).

NWR is a nationwide radio stations network continuously broadcasting information about all types of hazardous events both environmental and technological. Broadcasts consist of local, regional and marine weather conditions & forecasts that are repeated every few minutes. During emergencies, routine broadcasts are interrupted to report specific warnings.

NWR works with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Alert System (EAS), to provide the most complete, single source of nationwide weather and emergency information.

As a nationwide network, the NWR consists of over 940 transmitters in all 50 US states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and US Pacific Territories. This network also includes Weather Radio Canada which is a part of Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). When the NWR broadcasts specific warning, a digital code of Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) is included as part of the message. The SAME code consists of specific information containing the geographical area affected, the expiration time of the message and the message itself. Your Weather Radio has been designed to receive and decode warning, watch or non-emergency messages that are broadcast in digital SAME code by the National Weather service. Once received, the message will be presented visually and by voice announcement. The SAME code contains the type of message, country(s) affected, and message expiration time. Your radio should provide reception for up to 40 miles distant from the NWR transmitter depending on terrain and man made structures, either of which can reduce that distance.

You can customize the radio to only receive event messages occurring in your specific location. You can program up to nine (9) specific county locations based on system FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) codes you have entered into the radio memory.

NOTE: For customizing your Weather Radio use the Weather Radio Control Panel buttons located on the front of the main unit.
