History of NOAA Weather Radio in Timeline
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR), also called NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, is a 24/7 network of VHF FM radio stations in the U.S. broadcasting weather information directly from the National Weather Service. The programming cycle includes local weather forecasts, summaries, and hazardous weather outlooks. During hazardous conditions, broadcasts are shortened to include short-term forecasts, special weather statements, or tropical weather summaries. NWR also transmits non-weather alerts like national security statements, Amber Alerts, civil emergencies, and evacuation orders via the Emergency Alert System. Automated broadcast technology ensures continuous updating of segments across transmitters.
