NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcastingNational Weather Service (NWS) warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard infor-mation 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 comprehensiveweather and emergency information. NWR broadcasts warning and post-event infor-mation 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 serv-ice by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Departmentof Commerce. As of October 1, 2002, NWR includes more than 760 transmitters, covering all50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. PacificTerritories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal.NOAA Weather Radio receivers can be purchased at many retail stores and through mailorder catalogues and Internet web sites that sell electronic merchandise. They are often avail-able at boat and marine accessory outlets. Broadcasts are found in the public service band at7 frequencies (see page 3).
NWR service depends on reliable signal reception, typically a 40 mile radius from the trans-mitter, assuming level terrain. Some counties, especially in mountainous areas, may nothave reliable reception due to signal blockages or excessive distance from the transmitter.
NWR Specific Area Message Encoder (SAME) receivers employ digital coding to automaticallyactivate for specific weather or emergency conditions in specific areas (typically a county orportion of a county). You program SAME receivers for the county(s) and types of products yourequire. Your receiver will then automatically alert you only of weather and other emergenciesin areas you programmed. SAME county code numbers are available by telephone, 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263), or website, http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm.Your NWR receiver manufacturer instructions will describe how to select for particular types ofproducts. Television, cable and radio stations can use SAME to allow their listeners to hearwarnings as they are issued. Less sophisticated NWR receivers are equipped with the warningalarm or tone alert feature. These receivers will either sound an alarm, or when operated inmute mode, will automatically turn the volume on so the warning message may be heard.

*NWR SAME activation determined by local needs.
A Warning is issued when the specific hazard is a significant threat to public safetyand/or property, probability of occurrence and certainty of location is high, and theonset time is relatively short.
A Watch means conditions are favorable for the hazard but either the start time, prob-ability of occurrence or location is uncertain. Stay alert and tuned to local radio, TV, orNWR.
An Emergency refers to an event that by itself would not kill, injure or do propertydamage but indirectly may lead to other things that could result in a hazard.

Facts About NOAA Weather Radio
Broadcast range from a NOAA Weather Radio transmitter is approximately 40 miles.
The hearing and visually impaired can receive alerts by connecting weather radios with the appro-priate plug in to other kinds of attention-getting devices, such as strobe lights, pagers, bed-shakers, personal computers and text printers.
On October 1, 2002, there were more than 760 NOAA Weather Radio stations in the 50 states andnear adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and U.S. Pacific Territories.
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts watches when conditions are favorable for severe weather, andwarnings when severe weather is imminent or occurring.
Weather radios come in many sizes and with a variety of functions and costs; from simple, bat-tery-operated portables, to CB radios, scanners, short wave sets, and in some cars and TV’s.
SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology lets listeners pre-select the NOAA’sNational Weather Service and non-weather alerts they want to receive, based on the countywhere they live.
Weather radios equipped with a special alarm tone feature can sound an alert and give immediateinformation about a life-threatening situation.
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts NOAA’s National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecastsand non-weather hazard information 24 hours a day.
