NOAA
Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations
broadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby
National Weather
Service office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings,
watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.
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.
NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types
of hazards--both natural (such as earthquakes and volcano activity)
and environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills).
Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service,"
NWR is provided as a public service by the National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department
of Commerce. NWR includes more than 900 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. Broadcasts are found in the public service
band at these seven frequencies (MHz):
