How to Program your Midland® All Hazards Weather Radio

WRDW-TV News 12 has teamed up with Midland Radio and Kroger to offer “StormRadio 12”, battery-operated NOAA alert radios available at a reduced price at Kroger stores throughout the CSRA. The radios, which normally retail for $49.95, are only $29.99.

“A NOAA Alert Radio is the best modern day warning device available for both severe weather events and civil emergencies, such as a chemical release”, says Pam Tucker, Director of the Columbia County Emergency Management Agency. “They provide warning night or day, even if the power and telephones are out. Every home should have this life-saving equipment to assure their family gets advance warning of impending emergencies and disasters and has time to take protective actions.”

“Just like everyone should have a smoke detector in their house,” says John Oxendine, Georgia State Insurance Commissioner, “so should they have a NOAA Alert Radio.”

The StormRadio 12 allows you to specify the particular county for which you wish to receive alerts and allows you to turn off the alarm for certain events which might not be important to you. For example, if you live in Aiken County, you might not want to hear alerts for Lincoln County. This minimizes the number of “false alarms” for events which might be a few counties away from where you live.

WRDW-TV News 12 held a news conference April 15th, 2008 at 10am at the Columbia County Emergency Operations Center. Georgia State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine was on hand to explain the importance of weather radios during severe storms.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of StormRadio 12 will be donated to The American Red Cross.
