Weather Radio Purchases Encouraged

Governor Janklow recently made a special purchase of 10,000 programmable weather radios for South Dakota.

These weather radios are designed to alert citizens of potential weather risks as well as immediate information on other life-threatening situations.

SDHDA would like to encourage managers and owners of affordable housing to help educate their tenants, especially elderly individuals and families about how to get one of these radios. 

For more information on these weather radios visit the South Dakota Homeland Security website at
