While weather radios have been strongly promoted in “tornado alley” and other areas that are prone to weather-related disasters, shifting weather patterns make this inexpensive warning system a good investment anywhere. An NOAA Public Alert™ certified radio activates automatically when a warning in your area is issued by the National Weather Service, even if the radio is turned off. This is especially important if you are asleep or working in the studio and not tuned to a local radio or television station that carries the alerts.

An AC unit with a battery back-up to cover in case of a power failure is recommended. CERF owns a Midland WR300 which currently retails between $45.00 - $50.00. Information about weather radios, including coverage maps for your state and where to purchase, is available at the National Weather Service website.
