National Weather Radio

National Weather Radio (NWR) is a communication service that broadcasts official weather information, alerts, and warnings 24/7. Operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), it provides critical updates on severe weather events, such as storms, floods, and tornadoes, directly to the public. The broadcasts are available on specific FM frequencies, ensuring that people can receive timely and reliable weather information, even during emergencies. Many communities use NWR as a vital tool for public safety, helping individuals prepare and respond appropriately to hazardous weather conditions.
