Advanced Warning Alerts <br /> During Severe Weather Event <br /> When it comes to severe weather,technology has advanced <br /> greatly. Notifications of impending hazards can be received almost any- <br /> where.Knowing where and what to do when these types of warnings are <br /> received could be the difference between life and death. <br /> In weather emergencies,officials now have a new way to send warnings directly <br /> to cell phones in affected areas.These warnings are called Wireless Emergency Alerts <br /> (WEAs).These short messages may look like a text message,but unlike texts which are <br /> sent directly to personal phone numbers,these warnings will be broadcast to all phones <br /> within range of designated cell towers. <br /> The alerts will tell you the type of warning, the affected area and the dura- <br /> tion.Anyone who receives these warnings should turn to other sources,such as a <br /> weather radio,to get more detailed information about what is happening and <br /> L what actions should be taken. <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> �L <br /> The <br /> Severe Weather Awareness <br /> Edition <br /> Ramsey Resident • July/August • 2022 M" <br />
