“Severe Weather Awareness Week serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of being prepared for severe weather events and other emergencies,” said Deputy Health Officer and Public Health Preparedness Coordinator Sara Lornson. “By offering these preparedness tools, the De Pere Health Department aims to empower residents to take proactive steps to ensure their safety and wellbeing during times of crisis.”
Officials say the weather radios have been pre-programmed to the NOAA weather frequency for our area to ensure residents are equipped to receive timely weather updates and alerts when severe weather arises.
The preparedness guide, titled “What To Do When Disaster Threatens”, offers key information and resources to help individuals and families plan for emergency situations.
