This has been quite the weather week! More severe weather is possible tonight. Do you know how to get warnings? Lets review your options!

  1. NOAA weather radio for indoors, sirens if you're outside (in some areas)
  2. Text alerts: sign up for Polk County's CodeRED system to get all kinds of emergency alerts, including weather for your address. Nice to have if you're a part time resident, so you know what's going on even when you're not at your place. https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/en-US/BF4A225F8BED
  3. A weather app on your phone such as one in the Twin Cities like KARE11, Fox9 or WCCO.
  4. The TV or radio (this only works if you have a local station on and you're awake to see it!)
  5. Cell phone wireless emergency alerts will be sent if there is a confirmed tornado or damaging hail event only. Be sure to turn on these alerts in your phone settings. This doesn't work on all phones, so use as a last resort!

We still have a few openings in our upcoming SkyWARN weather class, if you're interested in learning more please see our previous post.
