Winter Remains.... Yesterday we experienced a quick teaser that Spring was on it's way with unseasonably warm temperatures. Today the Northeast has a high wind warning for storm force winds. Spring doesn't officially occur until the Vernal Equinox March 20, 2011 at 11:21pm Eastern Standard Time when on the Northern Hemisphere day and night are approximately of equal length.
A lot of us are fascinated by the weather. It seems like weather is the primary topic of many conversations. Plans are made and canceled because of the weather. Yet we have no control over what mother nature has in store for us.
However, we can be prepared by owning an All Hazards NOAA Public Alert weather radio.
NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration part of the US Department of Commerce. NOAA weather Radio broadcasts (NWR) is a national network of radio stations that continuously broadcast weather and emergency information including all types of hazards including chemical releases, oil spills, Amber and Silver alerts, tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy rains, snow, ice, flooding, etc. 7 days a week 24 hours a day. A NOAA public alert radio has the ability to reach over 95% of the US population with 1000 transmitters which make available broadcasts to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the US Pacific Territories. A special NOAA radio receiver is necessary to have access to these transmissions. Messages broadcast may be life saving. A NOAA Public Alert Radio should be among your emergency preparedness items.
Be Safe Plus LLC advocates being prepared for the unexpected and among others carries a variety of NOAA weather radios with battery backup systems. Be among the first to know about a weather or hazardous situation. Be Safe.
