NOAA Weather Radios Available at Fond du Lac County Clerk's Office

For our third severe weather season Fond du Lac County Emergency
Management will have NOAA, All Hazards Weather Alert Radios, available
to the public for $28.00 incl. tax.  These Midland, NOAA weather
radios will immediately broadcast emergency information notifications
directly from the National Weather Service for any severe weather or
emergency event.  Weather may be monitored 24 hours a day. 

NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) All Hazards Alert is a nationwide program
broadcasting continuous weather and other emergency information
directly from the nearest National Weather Service office.  A NOAA
weather radio is an essential tool to keep residents safe during
severe weather or other emergencies. 

“All Hazards" messages include:  Natural Events (e.g., tornado,
flooding, high winds, blizzards, etc.), Accidents (e.g., chemical
release, train derailments, nuclear power emergencies), evacuation
information, Amber Alerts, Terrorist attacks and other emergency
information.

 During an emergency, seconds count!  These radios are a valuable
alerting device, that are simple to use, and can be used to check on
“every day weather”, including wind chill information during the
winter.

Radios are available at the Fond du Lac County Clerk’s Office on the
1st floor lobby of the Fond du Lac County/City Government Center, 160
Macy Street in Fond du Lac.
