NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR)
Working with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an “All Hazards” radio network. Known as the “Voice of NOAA’s National Weather Service,” NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce.
It broadcasts official Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, directly from the nearest National Weather Service office.
