Disaster Warnings
Programs that issue bulletins or otherwise inform the public regarding the current location, severity of conditions and probable path of a brush fire, grass fire, woodland fire or large urban fire that may be a threat to those in the vicinity. Fire advisories may also include safety instructions for people who are in immediate peril.
Radiological Emergency Warnings
Programs that activate warning systems (sirens or other mechanisms) and/or issue bulletins to warn the public of a radiological accident in a hospital, university, research laboratory or other facility where nuclear materials are being used; a nuclear power plant emergency; a terrorist incident involving nuclear materials; or an impending or actual nuclear attack. Radiological accidents can occur anywhere that radioactive materials are used, stored or transported, and involve the release of potentially dangerous materials into the environment, usually in the form of a cloud or "plume" that can affect the health and safety of anyone in its path. Protection in a nuclear emergency comes from distance (the more distance from the radiation the better), shielding (protection using heavy materials to absorb radiation) and time (radiation loses intensity rapidly). Radiological emergency warnings may include steps, including evacuation or "shelter in place" instructions, that people in the affected area can take to preserve their safety.
Programs that issue bulletins to warn the public of impending weather-related problems such as flash floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, snow storms, high winds or high tides. Weather advisories may also include safety instructions for people who are in immediate peril.
