As America’s official warning service, an all-hazards weather radio is an emergency alert device that warns when you are in a life-threatening emergency, whether it’s natural or man-made. When programmed to your county location and set to monitor your designated weather radio transmitter, a weather radio acts as a silent sentinel, constantly monitoring the broadcast from your local forecast office. For weather-related emergencies like tornado warnings, flash flood warnings, and hurricane storm surge warnings, there is no faster way to receive them, as they come to you the moment they are issued.
