All-Hazards Emergency/
NOAA Weather Alert Radio

The All-Hazards Emergency/NOAA Weather Alert Radio is your official source for civil emergency alerts and weather warnings 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These alerts may come directly from your local emergency management office or from the National Weather Service. And through the use of SAME technology, you can program your radio to only receive all-hazard alerts for the county in which you live.

The all-hazards capability of these radios allows local emergency officials to utilize National Weather Service Radio to broadcast specific instructions in the event of a non-weather related emergency such as an act of terrorism or a hazardous chemical release. The use of SAME technology allows the National Weather Service to activate the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to allow an emergency message to be disseminated to a specific area. You also can program your radio to receive the latest weather information from the National Weather Service such as flash flood alerts and tornado warnings in addition to seven-day forecasts for South Texas. These radios are equipped with an alarm tone feature that will alert you, even if you are asleep, to give you information and instructions during civil emergencies, severe weather events or other life-threatening situations.
