Having multiple ways to get severe weather information is important. It could mean the difference between being caught by surprise or giving you time to get to your safe place. This is especially critical at night as a weather alert radio will sound the alarm to wake you up. Weather Alert Radios also have a battery backup, should your power go off the radio will still come on.
Back again for 2022, the KCRG-TV9 First Alert Storm Team will be programming weather radios! As a reminder, NO weather radios will be sold at these events. You will need to bring one with you along with 3 AA batteries.
