Coastal Warning Display Program
URL: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/cwd.htm

Description:
"The Coastal Warning Display program was de-emphasized in favor of frequently updated telephone recordings and NOAA [(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)] Weather Radio," which can convey more information to more people. However, "U.S. Coast Guard and other stations may continue to display warning signals" and this site illustrates day (flag) and night (light) signals and explains what various warnings mean. From the National Weather Service.
