the 700 volunteers who have

individual free time toward

Rebuilding Together fin
ished its 180th house modi

hopes to reach their goal of
accomplishing reconstruc

“You wouldn’t believe the
difference it makes in the
people’s lives,” Rebuilding
Together President Jerome
Stephens said.
Stephens noted that vol

the majority of work. These
teams are made up of indi

and businesses, as well as
civic and Robins Air Force
Base organizations.

price from about $25 to $75,
he said.
With them, you can pro
gram National Oceanic and
Atmospheric
Administration frequencies
for alerts.
Having an operating
weather radio near where
you sleep is important,
Williams said, because
although most tornadoes in
our area occur between 3
and 9 p.m., most weather
related fatalities take place
overnight because people
are caught unawares as they
sleep.
Businesses, schools and
other places where large
numbers of people are gath
ered during the daytime
hours should also have
weather radios in place,
Williams said.
The radios should be
placed near the desk of an

And that person should

they do hear a weather alert

es.
In our area, NOAA weath
er can be heard 24 hours a
day on a frequency of
162.475 MHz (megahertz).
With a weather radio, you
can listen to the latest
weather information contin
uously or program the radio
to only pick up alerts for
watches and warnings.
During severe weather,
NOAA interrupts the regu
lar broadcasts to announce
warnings and messages.
Coverage is usually limit
ed to about 40 miles and if
you travel and wish to take
your weather radio along,
you should check the fre

which you will be traveling.
