Program details
How it works
Walker County Emergency Management hosted a free community weather awareness event to help residents prepare for severe weather. At the event, first responders discussed weather radios and the county’s SirenGPS notification system. Free weather radios were available on a first-come, first-served basis, and staff could program radios for local alerts.
What the service covers
The county said it would help smartphone users set up the SirenGPS app for Walker County text and notification alerts from the National Weather Service. Residents without smartphones could register for automated phone calls on a landline.
Amounts and matching
No dollar amount is stated. The program and alerts are free to residents.
How to apply
The county did not publish a formal application process on this event page. Residents could attend the event, receive help setting up alerts, and pick up a weather radio while supplies lasted.
Timing and deadlines
The posted event took place on 2024-02-03. The page does not say whether free weather radios continue beyond that event, so the only clearly documented ongoing service on the official county site is the free SirenGPS alert system.
