Severe Weather Awareness Week

Thursday, February 21st

The National Weather Service is working very hard to bring our attention to severe weather awareness. This is Severe Weather Awareness week in North Alabama. Do you have a weather radio? If not, it would be a good idea for you to get one. The more ways that you can be alerted to severe weather the better. Most Weather radios have a back-up battery power system that takes over when the power goes out...that is if you make sure the battery is in place and hooked up. There are more good tips that you can find out about from the National Weather Service by going to their website,
http://weather.gov/huntsville , including how to put together a survival kit and where to go in your house that will offer you the most safety in case of severe weather. Help us at Newschannel 19 and the National Weather Service help you be safe, check out the tips and put them to use. By the way, the National Weather Service in Huntsville is having an open house March 8th. It is open to the public and free. You can check out more info on their website.
