How NOAA weather radios save lives in severe weather [Ep. 416]

NOAA and the National Weather Service maintain a nationwide network of analog radio transmitters that provide life-saving information during severe weather. These 24/7 radio stations provide real-time forecasts, severe weather warnings, and updated observations throughout the Carolinas and United States. This week our guest is Bruce Jones of Midland Radio, one of the biggest manufacturers of weather radio devices that can be used at-home and on-the-go. Jones explains the history of NOAA weather radio and how local National Weather Service offices issue transmissions that can awaken you in your sleep and inform you that it is time to get to safety.
