WHEN A WEATHER ALERT
OCCURS
When the Weatheradio receives a weather alert:
• it sounds an alert (siren or beep)
• a description of the alert appears
• an indicator on the front of the Weatheradio lights
Note: If the Weatheradio receives more than one
weather alert at the same time, it displays information
about each alert.
The alert descriptions your Weatheradio can display
are based on a list of specific weather alert types pub-
lished by the NWS. For a list of all the alert descrip-
tions that your Weatheradio can display, see “NWS
Weather Alert Descriptions” on Page 10.
Caution: The NWS uses sophisticated weather mod-
els to determine an alert’s effective time. However,
the end of an alert does not necessarily mean that the
related weather emergency is over.
