Severe Weather can strike anytime and in moments! Relying on just ONE way to get alerts is a risky gamble. Cell networks can drop, phones can lose battery, or you might simply be asleep. Protect yourself and your family with multiple overlapping layers of ways to receive flood/flash flood alerts:
✅ Wireless Emegency Alerts (WEA) enabled on your phone and phone fully charged
👀A recent study found that 30 percent of Texans have turned WEAs off, visit weather.gov/wrn/wea for more info.
✅ NOAA Weather Radio with a battery backup incase of power outages
✅ Local TV & Radio broadcasts
✅ Trusted Weather Apps with push notifications
❌ Outdoor sirens are for the outdoors! Don’t rely on them indoors
