What is the NOAA Weather Radio/ Weatheradio Canada?
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system

National Weather Service (NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 530
stations covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent coastal waters, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has

frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio
Canada service administered by Environment Canada.
