Ready for late summer thunderstorms, winter ice or other emergencies? A weather/all hazard radio lets you know what's on the way.

The National Weather Service (NWS) operates special radio stations all over the United States that continually broadcast current weather conditions and send out special warnings when severe weather approaches your area. These radio stations can also be used to warn citizens of other public safety emergencies, like toxic chemical spills, radiation conditions or hazardous fires and explosions.

You can't get these broadcasts on a regular car or home radio - you need a special NOAA Weather Radio receiver.

All homes Walton EMC's service area can receive these broadcasts from the Atlanta or Athens NOAA Weather Radio transmitters. You can get your weather/all hazard radio from Walton EMC. We have several models to fit any need or budget.
