One of the best ways to protect your family during severe weather is to purchase a Weather Alert or All-Hazards Alert Radio. It can be programmed to sound an alarm when a weather warning is issued for your community and is especially helpful at night or in areas not covered by sirens.
"All hazard alert radios are a crucial tool for every individual and family," said IDHS Executive Director Joe Wainscott. "They are a reliable avenue for receiving timely public safety warnings and other potentially lifesaving information around the clock."
All hazards alert radios can be found online and at many local retailers, and make a great gift. Be sure to include extra batteries so your recipient's alert radio can continue to operate if power services are disrupted.
While many of the life-threatening situations faced by Indiana citizens are related to severe weather events, all hazards alert radios will also provide alerts and information about other developing hazardous situations including: hazardous materials incidents, biological threats, contagious diseases, food contamination, industrial fires, power plant incidents and other potentially dangerous situations. It will also relay various emergency warnings including child abduction Amber Alerts, notices to evacuate, local area crises, emergency action notifications and civil emergency messages.
County Codes to Program an All Hazards Radio
Most all hazard radios require a county code to limit the geographic area for notices. The list of Indiana counties and their corresponding codes is below. Get more information about All hazard Alert Radios here.
