[OFARC] Radio Stations used for emergency info

[K. Michael Srinivasan]

Thanks Ralph. I attended CERT training in Fort Bend County recently.  Per my understanding, 24 / 7 "manned" radio station is 88.7 FM. They suggested tuning into 88.7 FM for emergencies. 
Thanks,Michael KD5QOP

When Harvey hit, most of us still had power and watched TV for updates.

During Hurricane Ike much of the city lost power, so people could not watch TV for updated information.

When that happens again, the general public will have to rely on battery operated radios (either portable or the one in your car).

  

Growing up in Houston it was well advertised to listen to 740 AM radio when storms or other hazards came along.  

I called Houston OEM to find out if that is still the “go to” station.

  

They confirmed these radio and TV stations as designated for emergency info:

Radio …. 740 AM and 88.7 FM.

TV …..   Ch 11 and Ch 2
