ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER RADIO SYSTEM

The National Weather Service (NWS) is an agency within
the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
that operates a nationwide network of radio stations known
as the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR). The NWR radio system
broadcasts warning information for all types of hazards,
both natural and technological. Working in conjunction with
the Emergency Alert System (EAS), NWR is an all-in-one
hazards radio network and is considered to be the single
source of all comprehensive weather and emergency
information.
A nationwide network, the NWR consists of more than 800
stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin
Islands and US Pacific Territories. Broadcasts are designed
to meet local needs. Routine programming is repeated
every few minutes and consists of local forecast, regional
conditions and marine forecasts.
Additional information, including river stages and climatic
data, is also provided. During emergencies, these routine
