NOAA All-Hazards/Severe Weather Alert Radios Available to Marinette County Residents
With severe weather season upon us one of the best investments you can make for your personal safety at home or work is a NOAA All-Hazards Alert Radio, which is like a smoke alarm for severe weather. These radios are available for purchase by all Marinette County Residents from the Marinette County Emergency Management Department. The cost is 1/2 the retail price, or $22.68 - limit of one per household. Proof of residency is required, such as a driver’s license or other photo ID with current address. If you wish to purchase a radio please call the Emergency Management Department at (715)732-7660 to set a date and time to pick one up. Their office is located in the Law Enforcement Center in Marinette. If you bring 5 AA batteries with you they will even program the radio for you!
