NOAA Weather Radio

Posted by: madscientist on Sep 8, 12 at 02:36 AM Posted in: South America Tagged: , , , Jump to last reply

Hello,
I am going to Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil next month. I was wondering if anyone knows if a portable weather radio will work in South America? I was concerned about flash floods, and the lahar/volcanic hazards in the Banos, Ecuador while I am there. I am aware that in the USA NOAA operates the airwaves, but I was wondering if their counterparts in these countries may operate similar programming on the same radio bands. I do speak Spanish beyond just simply "getting by" so stations being in Spanish is not a problem.

Thanks for any help!
Mike McGuire, New Jersey
