Severe weather happens
quickly...be prepared...own a weather radio!!!
NOAA Weather Radio is a service of the National Weather Service which
is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As the
"Voice of the National Weather Service," it provides continuous
broadcasts of the latest weather information from local National Weather
Service offices. Weather messages are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and
are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours or more frequently in rapidly
changing weather conditions or if threatening weather conditions exist.
|
During severe weather, the National Weather
Service interrupts the routine weather broadcast with warning messages
concerning imminent threats to life and property. In addition, to
breaking into routine broadcasts, a special signal/tone is sent
to trigger the "alerting" features of specially equipped
receivers. This signal activates audible or visual alarms, indicating
that an emergency condition exists within the broadcast areas of
the station being monitored and alerts the listener to turn up the
volume and stay tuned for more information. |
By nature and by design,
NOAA Weather Radio coverage is generally limited to an area within
40 miles of the transmitter. The quality of what is heard is dictated
by the distance from the transmitter, local terrain, and the quality
and location of the receiver. In general, those on flat terrain
or at sea, using a high quality receiver, can expect reliable reception
far beyond 40 miles. Those living in cities surrounded by large
buildings and those in mountain valleys with standard receivers
may experience little or no reception at considerably less than
40 miles. If possible, a receiver should be tested in the location
where it will be used prior to purchase. |
