Weather Radios: Where to Purchase, Features

Washington Military Department, Emergency Management Division

Weather Radio has a warning alarm feature, instantly alerting you to fast-breaking warning messages around the clock. The warning alarm operates in a muted mode and is activated by your local National Weather Service (NWS) offices when a warning message is transmitted. Some models activate flashing warning lights and bed vibrators for the sight and hearing impaired.
