HOW CAN I BE WARNED OF FLASH FLOODS, TORNADOS, OR OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS?
With so much information coming at you, how can you filter out all the noise to find out if your life is in danger? Dangerous weather conditions can develop in a matter of minutes and put you, your family, and property at risk. Fortunately, if you live in the United States and its territories, you can take advantage of an alert system that forewarns you of possible hazardous conditions.
Getting Info for Your Region
You can now get targeted geographical advance weather warnings that affect your town or county with our weather alert radios that feature Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology. This is a new system developed by the National Weather Service to deliver emergency messages to a specific geographic area. Once the local National Weather Service station has identified an emergency condition, they can send out a digital signal to weather radio receivers programmed to receive alert conditions in a specific area. For example, the service can send flash flood alerts to radios north of Little Rock, while radios in the South's coastal areas can be alerted to a hurricane developing nearby. This feature essentially eliminates the clutter, so you don't have to listen to an hour's worth of weather reports just to hear the five minutes of information that's pertinent to you.

In Canada, the Meteorological Service of Canada administers a similar program using the same weather radio receivers featured on our website. Learn where broadcast stations are located in Canada at this website:
