  NOAA Public Alert Radios are being distributed to public schools in your community to help safeguard the children in your care.  With 24/7 capability and battery back-up, the radio is always on guard to alert school personnel to severe weather conditions, terrorist threats, and other emergencies in your immediate area, even when other communication lines are unavailable.    
       
 

This school distribution program is sponsored by:

  • U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Citizen Corps
  • U.S. Department of Commerce/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
  • U.S. Department of Education/Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools

 

   
 

When Seconds Count

   
  The NOAA Public Alert Radio, also known as NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, is a powerful safety tool, with dozens of alerts and a broadcast capability that ensures direct access to information on a wide range of emergencies.  Whether it’s a telephone outage disrupting 911 services, an approaching tornado, local roads overrun by flash floods, a derailed train posing a hazardous material threat, or an immediate need to be on the lookout for an abducted child, the radio sounds an immediate alarm. And whether the emergency is national or specific to your community, you can count on the NOAA Public Alert Radio to signal the danger and recommend safety steps.
