NOAA Weather Radio Guide

A NOAA weather radio is one of the clearest emergency-kit purchases because it can keep you connected to official weather information when power or cell service is unreliable.

Look for NOAA Weather Radio

The radio should specifically support NOAA Weather Radio frequencies, not just AM/FM.

Prefer alerts and backup power

Tone alerts, battery backup, hand crank, or solar charging can help during outages.

Keep it accessible

Store it with spare batteries and teach household members where it is.
