WeatherRadio presentation

The Partners in Emergency Preparedness (https://piepc.org/) host a monthly seminar on relavant topics, and this month hosted Bruce Jones, a meteorologist and spokesperson for Midland Radio, to talk about the history of public alert systems and the work that they are doing now. Bruce is a long-time broadcaster and put on an entertaining, organized and informative show! I encourage everyone with an interest to watch and keep an eye on PIEPC.org for future shows!

Weather Radio Outage, Gray Maine Office, 26-28 Oct 2024

The Weather Radio transmissions for Gray Maine were off the air from sometime early in the morning on 27 October 2024 until around 5 PM on the 28th. I reported the outage, and was told it was due to a telcom problem, and it was resolved quickly.

A weather radio is an inexpensive item every household should have. It will alert you to urgent weather situations.
