Severe Weather Awareness Week- Part 5 “Everyone talks about the
weather” as the old cliche goes, and there’s good reason.
According to the National Weather Service, each year, Americans
cope with 10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, a thousand
tornadoes and on average, 2 land-falling hurricanes. From its
beginning, the National Weather Service has been improving its
forecasting capabilities, so we have as much advance warning of
hazardous weather as possible. Broadcasters like KSEN and K96-fm
are part of the nation-wide Emergency Alert System (EAS), and we
work closely with the NWS and our local emergency response
coordinators to make sure you have the information you need in
emergencies. Another valuable source for early weather warnings
is the NOAA weather radio network. Click HERE to learn more
