NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting
continuous weather information direct from a nearby National Weather Service office.
NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.
Working with the Federal Communication
Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an "all
hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. NWR also
broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards--both natural (such as earthquakes and volcano
activity) and environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills).
Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce.
NWR includes more than 930 transmitters, covering all 50 states,
adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal.

As a catalyst for change to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities in the American workforce, The Office of Disability Employment Policy provides national leadership through disability-related employment policy
and practice.
The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) assumed a leadership role on the Interagency Coordinating Council as
chair of the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness in the Workplace. The subcommittee has developed Preparing the
Workplace for Everyone, a framework of guidelines for federal agencies related to including employees and visitors with
disabilities in emergency plans.
These activities, in addition to technical assistance available through ODEP's Job
Accommodation Network (JAN), other publications, and the many resources on DisabilityInfo.gov, have enabled ODEP to assume
a lead role in ensuring emergency preparedness efforts fully consider and include individuals with disabilities.

PAS -- Personal Alarm System
Notifying occupants about a building emergency has evolved over the years. From bells and horns to the visual strobe
lights developed in response to the American's With Disabilities Act of 1990. PAS and SimplexGrinnell are looking
at additional ways to inform, direct and save lives.
One of these new solutions is Personal Alarm System (PAS). Developed with the deaf and hard of hearing in mind. The
system employs a local transmitter as part of the fire annunciating system for the building's fire alarm system.
PAS takes advantage of existing pagers and broadcasts a code which PAS enable pagers can recognize. This gives us the
ability to get important, detailed information to the deaf and hard of hearing in a timely manner.
PAS provides a level of notification previously limited to a few sites around the country. "We now have the
ability to take advantage of an existing infrastructure and expand the impact of our detection and notification
equipment".
