NOAA WEATHER RADIOS A VALUABLE RESOURCE
Even though we are currently in the Hurricane "Off Season", it is of the upmost importance for Nassau County residents to begin preparing for the next year's inclement weather challenges. Nassau County residents are encouraged to obtain a NOAA "ALL-HAZARDS" WEATHER RADIO from local hardware, electronics and supermarket vendors. NOAA weather alerts can also be heard Online at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/streamaudio.htm#livestream by clicking on “Florida”, and then “Jacksonville”. ALTHOUGH THE WEBSITE OFFERS THE SAME ANNOUNCEMENTS HEARD ON THE NOAA WEATHER RADIOS, NASSAU COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO OBTAIN A RADIO AS INTERENT ACCESS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED DURING A STORM. Please check the National Weather Service/Jacksonville website, http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/index.shtml or call the Emergency Management Office at 904-548-4980 for on-going information and updates.

Please check back often.
