Every household, every business office, every police station, every fire department and every school principal's office should have a NOAA Weather Radio.

It should be standard practice for every household no  matter what city, no matter what state, no matter what territory of the USA to have a NOAA Weather Radio.


This one is advertised at REI for $39.95 (click title to entry - thank you). I am sure there are other places to purchase them including local stores.  This one is a "Midland WR-120 Weather Radio".  Be sure it is a reliable brand when purchasing.


It is more than tornadoes.  A NOAA weather radio will alert the listener to severe weather no matter what it is, severe thunderstorm and local flooding as well.  This is not a joke.  This is survival in the age of the Climate Crisis.  The tornado outbreak that hit and is hitting the USA today is very early in the season for any type of outbreak.  The arctic air from the north slammed into tropical air from the equator.  


Get for real.  These little radios should be everywhere.


AND PUT THE BATTERY in them as well as plugging them in so the batteries don't run out.  Pay attention to the strength of the batteries and not put any in the radio with expiration dates that indicate they are marginal to use.


Do this.  Seriously.
