Do You Have a Public Alert Radio?

I need to get both of these for our family.

Do You Have a Public Alert Radio?: "









This is a Public Alert Radio with weather and emergency alerts! And it cost under $40. Whenever there is a severe storm or hazard in our immediate area, an alarm will sound. Then it is followed by a message from the National Weather Service. Pretty Handsome Guy programmed our weather radio to only go off for severe watches and warnings and only for our county. This really helps eliminate any false alarms for other counties.



After the experience I want to urge you to purchase a good Weather Alert Radio. Don’t buy one that can’t be programmed to eliminate other counties and certain warnings that might not pertain to you (i.e. flash floods.) We have several friends who turned their alert radios off because “it is too annoying when it goes off all the time.”



Another way to be prepared in case of severe weather or an emergency is to have a Disaster Preparedness Kit. Most of the information from the class can be found on the Red Cross Website, HERE.
