the alert, watch, warning, statement, and the time the alert was received.
The audio will be turned on (depending on settings) to allow you to hear
the broadcast. The LED on top of the radio will flash red indicating the
radio has received an alert. The alert duration can be as short 15 minutes and as long as 6 hours.
This duration is determined by the NWS.
