Forsyth County residents can obtain free weather alert radios and emergency preparedness information as part of a National Preparedness Month initiative by the Forsyth Emergency Management Agency.
“The radios will come pre-programmed to alert residents of weather advisories in Forsyth County,” said EMA Deputy Director Chris Grimes. “We were able to obtain the radios through a grant and are hopeful that residents will utilize them in hazardous weather situations.”
The All Hazards NOAA Weather Radios and preparedness information will be distributed in coordination with Forsyth Senior Services to at-risk senior citizens through the county’s Meals On Wheels program, officials said.
Radios also will be offered on a first-come, first served basis for all county residents 3-7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, at Old Atlanta Park Recreation Center, 810 Nichols Road; Thursday, Sept. 20, at Fowler Park Recreation Center, 4110 Carolene Way; and Tuesday, Sept. 25 at Central Park Recreation Center, 2300 Keith Bridge Road.
