Question

What to do if the weather radio goes off?

Answer 1

it means there is a watch or waring so watch out or take cover

Answer 2

Usually.....you will hear a loud alarm. Often a red strobe light is used on some radios now.

You need to follow the instructions on the radio because the sound or light flash on your radio means there is imminent bad weather approaching your area in a very short time.

The radio goes off mainly when weather warnings are issued for your county or city.....things like.....

winter storm warning

fire warning

severe thunderstorm warning

tornado warning

high wind warning

hurricane warning

flash flood warning

Usually, this means you either need to evacuate the area, or go to a place of safety (for example, a tornado shelter) when the radio goes off.
