EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM (EAS)
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) uses the latest technology to allow local authorities to broadcast important emergency information to specific areas. The Emergency
Alert system was originally designed as a communications link between the President and the general public during times of emergency. The EAS communication link is instant and can target the State, National, and Local
Area levels. The EAS and NWS share the same digital signal used on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s Weather Radio (NWR). Ultimately, the purpose of EAS is to deliver emergency alert information to those who need it.
NOTE This product is equipped to receive all required
NOAA and newly added EAS events.
To receive EAS events, make sure your WR601 radio is working properly. Please refer to the “SAME Messages” section for information about how to receive “Test” messages. When an EAS event is sent by the NWS, any 1 of the following messages will be displayed on your radio: “WARNING”, “WATCH”, or “ADVISORY”
