Emergency Alert

Radio will also alert you to emergency warnings or
watches issued by NOAA with its built-in siren.

The Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic
and Aerospace Administration (NOAA) provides
NOAA Weather Radio as a public service. NOAA
has more than 550 stations in the 50 states and
near adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories.

The WX-17 Emergency Alert Radio receives all of
the seven NOAA channels. (NOTE: You have to
select the correct weather channel in order to
receive warnings for the state/county in which you

are located). The unit will sound an audible alert
tone when an alert tone is received.

Working with other Federal agencies and the
FCC’s new Emergency Alert System (EAS), NOAA
is the single source for weather and emergency
information available to the public.

For up-to-date information on NOAA and weather
frequencies used in your area, check the NOAA
