12 Days of Preparedness -- Day 2 (Weather Radios)

In honor of the "12 Days of Preparedness" video that we recently posted, we wanted to celebrate those 12 days with you in greater details. So...

Preparedness Day 2:

Weather radios are a critical part of Johnson County's comprehensive warning strategy. Along with outdoor warning sirens, NOAA All-Hazard Weather radios give you critical information about weather conditions that are present in your area. Specifically, it will tell you about watches, warnings, and advisories throughout the year. This is particularly important during severe weather season to receive information as quickly as possible so you and your family can move to shelter.

Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security supports Project Community Alert (PCA) which is a community-wide effort to distribute weather alert radios at the low cost of $29.95 through local PriceChopper stores. Remember, there's still time to purchase a weather radio as a holiday gift!

See you Preparedness Day 3! Happy (and safe) Holidays from Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security.
