Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NOAA Weather Radio is an "all hazards" radio network, making it the single source for the most comprehensive weather and emergency information available to the public. NOAA Weather Radio also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards - both natural (such as earthquake and volcano activity) and environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills).
