Severe Weather Preparedness Week: Best Ways to Stay Informed
As severe weather season approaches, knowing how to receive timely alerts can make all the difference. Fort Wayne residents are encouraged to review their options for staying informed when storms strike.
Three Reliable Ways to Receive Weather Alerts
Staying ahead of dangerous weather means having multiple sources of information. The best ways to receive alerts include NOAA Weather Radios, Wireless Emergency Alerts, and local media apps.
NOAA Weather Radios: A Constant Lifeline
These devices provide round-the-clock weather updates, ensuring you receive critical information, even when other communication methods fail. Costing under $100, they are widely available online and at local retailers.
Wireless Emergency Alerts: Instant Notifications
The National Weather Service sends alerts straight to your phone for life-threatening conditions, such as:
- Tornado warnings
- Flash flood warnings
- Snow squalls
- Extreme wind advisories
To activate these notifications, go to your phone settings, find the government alerts section, and enable emergency alerts.
Local News and Apps: Real-Time Coverage
For continuous updates, local news stations like 21Alive provide live coverage and real-time tracking of severe weather events. Downloading the 21Alive First Alert Weather App ensures you have weather updates on the go. It’s free on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
With severe weather threats increasing, preparedness is key. Saturday has been designated as a First Alert Weather Day, so stay informed and stay safe.
