Shopping For a Weather Radio

5/5/2021 (Permalink)

When shopping for a weather radio, look for the following key features.

* Reviewable alerts( you can scroll through alerts and turn off the siren for alerts you do not wish to hear). 

* Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) alert programming (alerts when specific counties are threatened, ensuring you only receive alerts for your county).

* Ease of Programming

If you need help programming your weather radio, you can always contact your local National Weather Service Office or for additional information, including county codes for your state, visit the NOAA Weather Radio website at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr. NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
