March is Severe Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois, and the Illinois Emergency Services Management Association (IESMA) and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) are joining forces to encourage Illinois residents to have National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) all-hazards weather alert radios. A weather alert radio provides potentially life-saving alerts about approaching severe weather and other hazards in your area 24 hours a day.
As part of their awareness campaign, IESMA and IEMA are sponsoring the "Weather Alert Radios Save Lives" contest throughout March to promote the use of weather alert radios. The contest is open to all Illinois residents. To participate, simply click on the contest link at ready.illinois.gov, read a narrative about weather alert radios and take a quick five-question quiz. After completing the quiz, you'll need to fill out the entry form and click "submit." A total of 100 NOAA weather alert radios will be awarded to participants throughout Illinois.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Weather radios can also be found for sale at many stores across Illinois and elsewhere, such as Walmart and RadioShack, just to name a couple. I encourage everyone - not just in Illinois but across the Tri-State - to get a weather radio, program it and keep it at the ready in your home. For more NOAA Weather Radio information, visit JDTVB's NOAA Weather Radio page or the official NOAA Weather Radio website.
