He Gadget: Are you concerned about tornados? I feel lucky I live in an area that isn’t prone to natural disasters. We may get a blizzard every few years, but the last real bad one we had was in 1999. However, much of the country could have a natural disaster like a tornado, hurricane, blizzard or earthquake.
Being alerted to an oncoming storm could save yours and your family’s life. Keeping an alert system handy during the stormy season is simple and can give you that head start you need to grab your family and hide or leave.
The Weather Emergency Monitor is a portable all emergency radio. It monitors all emergency hazards and EAS weather bulletins, warnings and forecasts. It has a visual and audio alert (up to 100 decibels) and 3 levels of warning; statement, watch and warning. It has digital PLL tuning for all 5 NOAA channels and the S.A.M.E. reception feature allows you to select broadcasts for 6 different counties. It also has a clock and alarm clock.
What’s great about this is that it is small and portable. Plug into AC or use batteries (included) to carry it with you.
