Stutsman Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist<\/p><\/div>\n

Jamestown (CSi) This is “Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week,” for the entire state of North Dakota. This annual event is designed to remind the public of the dangers associated with severe summer weather and to educate them on the various ways they can receive weather warning information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Thursday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Stutsman County Emergency Manager, and 9-1-1 Co-ordinator, Jerry Bergquist talke about how the public can receive severe weather warnings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He pointed out that traditional methods of receiving severe weather warning information include listening to AM\/FM radio stations, cable TV provider interrupt systems, and community warning sirens. Area broadcast TV stations and the National Weather Service website (<\/p>\n

<\/b>www.crh.noaa.gov\/bis\/<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/b>) are also very helpful.<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Bergquist added that another great way to receive timely weather warning information is to purchase a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. These radios broadcast information directly from the National Weather Service and range in price from $20 to $70. Look for a radio that can be programmed (S.A.M.E. technology) and has battery back-up in case the power fails. However, the National Weather Service broadcasts warn the entire county even though the actual warned area may be fairly small geographically.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A no-cost way to receive weather warnings for a specific warned area is to sign up for CodeRED Weather Warning, a service available through Stutsman County. Residents must register for this service in order to receive these warnings. To register, go to the Stutsman County webpage at<\/p>\n

<\/b>www.co.stutsman.nd.us<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/b> and click on the CodeRED Weather Warning icon. <\/span><\/b><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

The public can choose to receive tornado, thunderstorm and\/or flash flood warnings on land-line telephones, cell-phones including text message capable phones, VOIP phones and via email addresses. When registering, an exact address is needed due to the geographically based deliver system of CodeRED Weather Warning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On another topic, Bergquist said the statewide tornado drill on Wednesday morning this week tested the warning sirens in Stutsman County.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He noted that the warning siren at Frontier Village failed during the test, and that the city will be responsible for making any necessary repairs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Otherwise the test was successful in making calls to emergency first responders, according to the established flow chart.<\/p>\n
