Previously we provided information on what weather radios are and their purpose. This record pertains to how weather radios work. Once you have superior a radio that fits your needs, you need to learn how it works. Most radios have a power cord that you can plug into the wall to control the radio. They all have or should have battery backup in the event of a power failure or if it is a conveyable radio that you can carry with you. These radios broadcast weather information on seven channels or frequencies throughout the Us. By reviewing the Fips codes you can find the closest tower that transmits in your area. Afer you find that frequency you should hear a continuous broadcast for your area. If the radio has S.A.M.E. Technology as we discussed in the old record (and it should) you need to schedule it. You can schedule your county, several adjacent counties, or all counties in the coverage area. The schooling book along with the Fips codes will allow you to do this.
In the event of an crisis in the county or counties you have programmed the radio will sound an alert tone followed by the weather watch or warning along with pertinent information with regard to actions that you should take at the time of the alert.
Weather Radio
Watches and warnings are broadcast based on weather conditions in your area that may be worth watching or paying attentiveness to, or by taking crisis protection in the event of a warning. Many watches are based on radar conditions and weather forecasts that the local Nws office is monitoring. In the event of a warning (tornado, flash flood, or severe thunderstorm) the information may be obtained by what the forecaster sees on doppler radar or live reports from trained weather spotters or local crisis personnel. If the the Nws issues some type of watch for your area you should be aware that conditions are possible for that type of weather. If they issue a warning you should effect the instructions the forecaster gives via the weather radio which may involve taking protection immediately in the event of a tornado or move to a safer location in the event of flooding. More population are killed in the Us by floods that any other weather event. These watches and warnings should be taken seriously and you should have a plan for immediate activity in the event of a warning.
The next record will comprise information about weather radios that are available, their cost and their functions. Weather radios may be purchased at most store and industrialized radios may be purchased on Ebay or via the internet at assorted site such as www.btproducts.us
