National Preparedness Month- Shop NOAA Weather & Emergency Radios

September marks National Preparedness Month. Midland Radio has essential items like NOAA Weather Radios and emergency radios to help prepare you for weather disasters.

ABOUT NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH

National Preparedness Month is each September. The goal is to raise awareness about the need to prepare for disasters and emergencies because they could happen at any time in any location. 

Part of FEMA's goal is to reach different communities where they are in order to promote preparedness. 

2023 THEME- PREPARING FOR OLDER ADULTS

This year's National Preparedness Month theme is, "Preparing for Older Adults."

The campaign will focus on preparing older adults for disaster, specifically adults that are disproportionately affected by all-hazard events. These events, particularly severe weather events continue to threaten and impact the entire nation.  

The risk of older adults is significantly increased when it comes to extreme weather events and emergencies especially if they are living alone, are low-income, have a disability, or live in rural areas. 

MIDLAND RADIO MAKES PREPAREDNESS TOP OF MIND

Midland Radio offers several products that should be included in your emergency preparation kit.

Staying alert is the first step in ensuring you are ready for severe weather and emergencies. Grab a NOAA Weather Radio to receive the latest information from the National Weather Service. This life-saving information will give you and your family the time needed to seek shelter and put your plan into action.

Midland's emergency radios ensure you don't miss out on any information. These radios are perfect for power outages, evacuations, or for trips to explore the outdoors. Featuring NOAA Weather Radio, these radios will keep you informed no matter where you are with several sources of power.  

It's also important to prepare for after the storm. It's likely that cellphone service could be spotty, towers could be overwhelmed, or the weather could take out the cellphone tower altogether. Knowing this, grabbing a set of walkie talkies or a MicroMobile for your vehicle is a great idea. This way you can keep in touch with one another when service isn't available. It also could make getting ahold of emergency services significantly easier.
