What is an emergency alert weather radio?

Emergency alert weather radios provide advance warning about dangerous storms approaching your local area. The alerts are transmitted by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration part of the Department of Commerce) and can be a life-saving tool in the event of pending hurricanes, tornadoes, heavy rainstorms, snow and ice, or other possible disasters.
