What is NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards?
NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting weather information 24 hours a day direct from nearby National Weather Service offices. NWR is the fastest way to receive warnings of severe weather and floods. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, advisories, forecasts, general weather information, and other hazard information. Weather messages are generally repeated every 4 to 10 minutes and are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours or more frequently in rapidly changing local weather of if a nearby hazardous environmental condition exists.
NWR, known as the “Voice of the National Weather Service”, is a service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The NWR network includes more than 985 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 receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Broadcasts can be found on seven frequencies in the VHF band.
