NOAA Weather Radio Modernization Act

This bill modernizes NOAA Weather Radio, a nationwide network that broadcasts weather alerts 24/7. It requires expanding coverage to rural and underserved areas lacking reliable internet or cell service, including high-risk flood zones and federal lands, while improving system resilience during emergencies. Key provisions include upgrading to internet-based broadcasting, enabling more precise location-based warnings, adding satellite backup capabilities, and enhancing accessibility for communities without mobile broadband. The changes directly affect public safety by improving access to critical weather alerts for millions in remote or vulnerable communities.
