Weather Radio Information

Weather Radio Links

NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is available in streaming format from many websites. The National Weather Service website has a list of these sites, organized by location.

If you want to receive Weather Radio on your mobile device, Weather Underground's WunderRadio app for the iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Windows includes live streaming of NWR stations.

The National Weather Service has a web page that describes the NWR service. It includes coverage maps, station listings, SAME codes and much more. A page about NWR receivers is also available. Though no recommendations are made, there's lots of information about important features in residential and commercial-grade receivers, the Public Alert Standard and logo, and a list of radio makers whose products meet NOAA standards.

The National Weather Service also discusses how NWR can be used by those who are deaf or hard of hearing. General information, as well as lists of complete systems, alarm devices and appropriate receivers that can trigger an auxiliary output when an alert is received can be found.

The International Community on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management has an article detailing some of the technical requirements for a Public Alert-certified radio.

The Consumer Electronics Association also offers information about the Public Alert logo certification program.
