I saw the NOAA is conducting a survey regarding NOAA Weather Radio to collect information that will be used in their modernization efforts of same.
Since Canada has shut their "Weatheradio" system down, I am glad that the NOAA is seeking to update this system rather than dismantle it.
It only took me a minute to reply. The survey closes in two days, don't put it off.

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0690-0030 with Expiration Date: 7/31/2026. Without this approval, we could not conduct this survey. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to Brian Miretzky ([email protected]). Introduction: NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information directly from the nearest National Weather Service (NWS) office. NWR broadcasts official NWS warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As we look to modernize the NWR service we are asking for feedback on usage to help us plan for the future. This survey will be open through May 28th, 2026.
In these pleasant (relatively) days of late spring, it's probably a good idea to follow the EFF's advice and figure out how to set up emergency communications for when things go very wrong, and there's no internet, and no cell phone service.
I've done a lot of thinking about this the last year or so, and actually set up, tested, and used three different approaches, and here I share that with you:
