Reeves County Gets Weather Radio
A NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio station was recently brought on the air in Reeves County. In addition to weather information, NWR-All Hazards broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards, including natural hazards such as earthquakes, environmental hazards such as chemical releases and oil spills, and public safety information such as AMBER alerts 24 hours a day, every day.
The radio station will provide residents of Pecos, Saragosa and Toyah an additional way to receive critical information, and the 40-45 mile range of the transmitter signal will also allow Wickett, Grandfalls, Wink and Fort Stockton to receive the NWR-All Hazard signal.
An $80,000 RUS NWR Grant obtained with the help of USDA Rural Development provided project funds.
