Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Persons

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides information broadcast to Weather Radios

• Information starts as text and is converted to audio

• Several can provide text to inform that there is alert,

watch, warning but may give no other information

• Some can be connected to strobe lights, a vibrator,

siren, and home alerting systems

• Some make you choose between audible alert or

voice description instead of having both.
