NOAA Weather Radios receive warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. Why would Deaf people want a radio? They can be used as a way to alert you or wake you up at night! Some come with flashing lights, vibrating alarm attachments, and color displays with text readouts for use by those with hearing loss. youtu.be/A4izxOnKnug
