They'll actually be ahead of the game as FEMA and other emergency systems use that source before recomposing and passing it on to radio/TV stations.

You more than likely have a private weather station in your vicinity that feeds into the national network for actual current conditions and all you or your family would need is the IP address to follow that source. That's where most local radio and TV stations get their 'current conditions' for the talking heads to broadcast.
