NOAA Weather Radio
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) weather radios that sound an alert to notify people nearby that there are severe weather conditions. These radios are inexpensive and widely available to the public. Having one in your home that is set to your specific area (models marked "SAME" - Specific Alert Message Encoding allow this feature) is the best way to ensure that you and your household will be alerted to any severe weather. Make sure to put in batteries as a backup in the event the power goes out, and change your batteries each time day light savings time changes.
