 Weather Radio

NOAA Weather Radio
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. Weather radios equipped with a special alarm tone feature can sound an alert and give you immediate information about a life-threatening situation. Radios equipped with the new digital technology, called SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) alert the listener only of weather and other emergencies for the county(s) they programmed into the radio. These radios can be programmed to receive life-saving messages broadcast on NOAA Weather Radio targeted to Hidalgo County.  For more information see NOAA Weather Radio
