NOAA stands for, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The NOAA Weather Radio Station KXI-49 is located in Salem Illinois, frequency for the Salem area is 162.475. Our NOAA Weather Radio operates from the National Weather Service in St.Louis Missouri. This frequency is preprogrammed into weather radios along with six other frequencies that are used in the United States. NOAA Weather Radio operates year round. It will inform you of all Weather Watches and Warnings of Winter Storms, Severe Thunder Storms, Tornadoes, Flooding or other Emergency Situations such as Hazardous Materials incident that evacuation is needed. Working with the Federal Communications Commission's new Emergency Alert System, NOAA Weather Radio is an "all hazards" radio network, making it the single source for the most comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public. NOAA Weather Radios can be purchased at most Electronic or Retail Stores. Most of the weather radios have a battery back up power supply. Prices vary depending on type of features included with the radio. For more information on NOAA Weather Radios visit this link to NWS web site. We at the City of Salem Department of Emergency Management encourage each business and home to have a NOAA Weather Radio.
