NOAA WEATHER RADIO
A new NOAA weather radio transmitter is dedicated in Rio Grande City!
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 the 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
670
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):
