When dangerous thunderstorms and tornadoes develop it’s essential to have a reliable way to receive alerts about approaching weather. ReadyWisconsin is encouraging everyone to get a NOAA Weather Radio if you don’t already have one. ReadyWisconsin’s Andrew Beckett says the weather radios will alert you if you are sleeping in the middle of the night. Many devices feature a battery back-up in the event power is lost during a storm. In addition to your home, consider packing a portable weather radio with your camping or boating gear when you spend time outdoors.
