As the country sees the impact of natural disasters, state officials in Kentucky are reminding residents to stay alert and be prepared for severe weather. The state has a new program available to help the deaf and hard of hearing stay alert to storms.

Through the “Moore Safe Nights” program, 700 adapted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radios are available for free through a partnership between the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management.

“Any Kentucky resident who is deaf or hard of hearing is eligible to receive one of these free weather radios, which are available on a first come first serve basis,” said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear during a September Team Kentucky Update. “Equipped with pillow shaker and strobe light attachments, these weather radios are designed to alert people who are deaf and hard of hearing of severe weather in their area, so they can take shelter to protect themselves and their families.”

The program is named in memory of Virginia Moore, the late executive director of the KCDHH. Visit the commission’s website or call 1-800-372-2907 to register for an adapted radio. The state says funding will be sought to make additional radios available after the initial 700 are claimed.
