ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a local area warning system that is designed to alert the public of severe weather and technological alerts. The apparatus consists of red, amber, and blue warning lights and audio speakers that warn the public of the severe conditions. The speakers can be employed to produce a loud siren and/or coherent broadcasts describing the severe condition. An antenna on the apparatus captures the radio frequency broadcast signal from NWR. A receiver connected to the antenna decodes and presents the audio and visual messages of weather and technological conditions to the public through the warning lights and the speakers. The county code or the geographical location is entered into the receiver such that only severe alerts that correspond to the area of the device will be presented. All of these components are connected to a support structure.
