DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The Alert Works EAR-10 has an innovative automatic alert system. In the event of special warning broadcasts, the radio is automatically activated along with a loud tone, an LED indicator, and an alert message in the LCD. Emergency weather bulletins include alerts about tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice/snow storms, and other severe weather. Other emergencies might include Amber alerts, hazardous explosions, fires, chemical spills, and other civil emergencies. In addition, the EAR-10 weather radio features Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) Digital Weather/Hazard Alert, providing you with continuous monitoring of your local NWS broadcasts. The S.A.M.E. decoding receiver allows you to hear only messages for the area(s) of concern to you. For example, if you only want to be informed for alerts within your county, enter only your county code. If you want to be informed about neighboring counties, you can enter those codes as well. In addition, the Alert Works EAR-10 allows you to program the radio to silence selected event codes to minimize annoyance. The Public Alert Standard (CEA-2009-A) was developed by the Consumer Electronics Association in conjunction with the National Weather Service. Devices that carry the Public Alert logo meet certain technical standards for alerting users of hazardous situations. Features:
