790 kHz - NOAA Weather Radio being Heard - SF Bay Area
In most of the nation VHF weather radio is used to warn
of disasters, but Richmond residents cannot afford NOAA weather radios
even if they knew about them, and unlike in tornado alley weather
radios are hard to find in California.

They don't have Radio Shack in CA?

I think your whole premise is faulty. Most "average citizens", rich,
middle class, or poor, do not have NOAA radios. They find out about
impending weather conditions from broadcast radio and television.
