Pharr Oratory Schools Receive NOAA Public Alert Radios

Supported by special congressional funding, the Department of Homeland Security has joined with the Departments of Education, Commerce, and Health and Human Services to place a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Public Alert Radio in every school in America in order to establish a strong national school alerting capacity.

The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is making a licensed NOAA Public Alert Radio available to be placed at our school to strengthen the school community alert and warning systems. In addition to preparing staff, students and school communities for emergencies, this access to alerts and warnings will provide us with the information we need to respond quickly and appropriately should an incident develop.

NOAA Public Alert Radios are design to signal different types of alerts to the public for all-hazards situations, ranging from weather and human-caused emergencies to law enforcement alerts, such as child abductions. NOAA Public Alert Radios offer the capability to transmit alerts to a specific city or region, or nationwide depending on the circumstance.
