Weather Radio over the Internet
coverage includes: Cass, Fulton, Knox, Mason & Schuyler counties
NOAA Weather Radio is a nationwide network of radio
stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from a nearby National
Weather Service (NWS) forecast office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service watches,
warnings, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.
Known as the "Voice of the National Weather Service," NOAA
Weather Radio is provided as a public service by the Department of Commerce's National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and covers the 50 states, District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. Pacific Territories. Currently, there are over
900 NOAA Weather Radio transmitters in operation.
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts emergency and post-event information for all
types of hazards -- both natural (such as severe weather, flooding, earthquakes and
volcanic activity) and man-made (such as chemical releases or oil spills). Working with
other Federal agencies and compatible with the Federal Communication Commission's
Emergency Alert System (EAS), NOAA Weather Radio is an "all hazards" radio network,
making it the single source for the most comprehensive weather and emergency information
available to the public.
