In addition, we encourage individuals to sign-up for emergency alerts in Linn County which includes weather warnings. NWS warnings are also communicated via the Emergency Alert System to commercial radio, commercial television and cable systems. Most local broadcast meteorologists disseminate NWS warnings and they are widely available on the Internet, including at www.weather.gov. Further, there are many private sector weather apps that you can download which relay our warnings. The public also receives NWS warnings via Wireless Emergency Alerts sent to cell phones.
