Emergency Radio

Radio isn't just a great source of entertainment - it could just save your
life.  In this day and age when we have a myriad of choices of media: video,
Internet, digital audio, and more, when things go bad, we turn to radio to
find out what's happening.

April is national disaster preparedness month, so for the April edition of
Radio Waves, join us as we discuss emergency radio. Radio is a part of
local, state and national disaster planning, and it should be a part of
yours.

We'll discuss how to tune in to disaster radio, and how to set up your own
personal disaster radio gear.

Join us on Wednesday, April 7, starting at 6 PM Pacific Time.
