How can I be alerted of watches and warnings issued when I'm sleeping?
To add additional protection while you are inside, consider purchasing a NOAA Weather Radio (all hazards).
We recommend the purchase of a radio with the SAME feature (Specific Area Message Encoding) which means the receiver is capable of turning itself on from a silent mode when the signal for your area is sent out. These radios can be programmed for a specific county (or counties) so you do not receive alerts from areas far away. You should also choose a model that provides you with the option of selecting which alerts you want to receive and which alerts you prefer to deactivate.
