The CL-100 is a Public Alert Certified Weather Radio and can receive all NOAA reports can let people know about severe weather advisories, watches and warnings conditions, civil emergencies, hazards, and evacuation details so they can have more time to react before dangerous storms hit their area. When you're in the path of something like a tornado, seconds can mean the difference between life and death. The CL-100 can respond to emergency alert tones by activating a built-in audio or an external visual alarm. The alarm feature is especially useful for warnings that are issued during the night when most people are asleep. It also features S.A.M.E. technology, the primary trigger for activating the US Hazards and EAS (Emergency Alert System) used by commercial radio, television and cable TV outlets. S.A.M.E. allows you to screen out unwanted or non-local alerts and filter out distant warning broadcasts and monitor only those messages intended for your local area.
