NOAA Weather Radio advised the people of severe weather watches and warnings, buying extra time for the people before the storm hit the dangers of their local response. When you're back on the road like a tornado, seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
However, a special type of radio receiver that is needed is the ability to receive notification. NOAA Weather Radio is available at electronics stores, shops sporting goods, marine supply store, and on the Web. They are cheap (starting from about $30.00) and programmed for a specific region.

SAME Technology
Weather Radios using the same (Specific Area Message Encoding) technology. Using the same technology series digital tons of detecting specific types of warnings that were sent to a specific geographic area affect the event. Just allows you to filter out distant warning broadcasts and monitors only those messages intended for your area. For example, if you live in coastal communities, but not right on the beach, you might be interested in Coastal Flood Warnings. You can set the receiver to ignore Coastal Flood Advisories and alerts.
