When disaster strikes, you may have only a short time to make what might be a life-or-death decision. One of the most important things you can do is to be aware that a danger is present. Most of the injuries and deaths happen to people who are unaware or uninformed. For this reason, it is crucial that you have multiple ways to receive warning information.
