Our NOAA Weather Radio operates from the National Weather Service in St.Louis Missouri.

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.
