NWR Modernization Act of 2023

This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to modernize its Weather Radio All Hazards network (NWR). It directs NOAA to upgrade existing systems to expand coverage - especially in rural, underserved, and National Park areas - while improving reliability and maintenance. Key provisions include transitioning from outdated copper infrastructure to more reliable telecom systems, enhancing software for county-level weather alerts, and developing backup plans for service outages. The modernization aims to ensure NWR remains a dependable emergency alert source for the public during weather events.
