noaa weather radio

I cant remember how to set my NOAA radio up to pick up alerts for my area. Does anyone know of a website with this info? Help, we have severe storms and tornados heading this way and I'm at work with no television, or any other way to hear the weather.

First you will need the FIPS codes for your area. If you don't have the operating manual for your NOAA weather radio, you might find a copy on-line to download.

From my experience, most are fairly simple to program and would only take a few minutes.

Another source you might try if you are having problems programing the radio is to contact your local Office of Emergency Management. Usually, there will be someone that knows how to program the radio.

I personally don't rely on the sirens. They can malfunction and don't always go off and also don't tell you where the storm is headed.

The best and most effective way to stay informed and updated on any weather related issue is right here on the net. There are numerous web sites that regularly post and update conditions on a continuous basis.

These sites also offer RSS feeds so that you may get the information sent directly to your E mail or your Home Page faster than you can receive it on the television or radio. The television and radio personnel get the information directly from the same source and so can you.

For an example, The National Hurricane Center and the US Geological Survey among others, offer subscriptions to their mailing lists. Once registered these organizations will send you periodic updates of any threatening environmental conditions in your area as well as all around the world. You can also have them send you a direct feed.

I myself have direct feeds being sent to My Yahoo from organizations globally to include the following:

The National Hurricane Center
The National Weather Service
The US Geological Survey
The Joint Tsunami Warning Center
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (Japan)
The World Meteorological Organization
National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA)
National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA)

All of the above agencies provide these feeds for the public and it is the same organizations television and radio receive them from.

You can also receive them perhaps, before they do.

If you would like I could show you how to do it. Just E mail me and I can direct you as well as instruct you as how to get started.

Great question by the way!!

I am trying to purchase an emergency radio and I want NOAA alerts and but i can only find Weather-Band radios. Will a weather band radio get NOAA alerts?

NOAA is a channel on a Weather Radio

Any Dual Trunking scanner at Radio shack will pick this channel up. Its normally labeled WX on the scanner.

Or is it only for severe thunderstorms?

Yes they do. They issue an alert for any watches or warnings at any time of the day. But there are some weather radios where you can select what it alerts you about and where you want alerts from. I don't have that feature on mine. I live on Long Island,NY and when we get heavy rains, I sometimes forget to turn off the alarm and I get woken up in the middle of the night because they're giving the forecast for the levels of the rivers in New Jersey.
