#disaster #preparation tip: it's handy to have a way to receive #weather #radio (battery operated!) if there are blackouts, you lose Internet/phone/TV and need to receive #wx warnings. Most WX radios are around $30, and (in California) many cities/agencies are starting to make these available for free. (some cheaper ones, but unknown quality to me--random brand names...)

May I ask you a NOAA weather radio question?
Absolutely! What would you like to know about NOAA weather radios?
NOAA weather radios are an essential tool for staying informed and prepared in the event of severe weather. They allow you to receive real-time alerts and warnings from the National Weather Service, as well as access local forecasts, current conditions, and other weather information. NOAA weather radios are available in a variety of forms, from hand-held portable models to desktop units with multiple features. They can also be programmed to only alert you to specific types of weather events, such as flash floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and more.
