Davis County Emergency Services has set up an AM radio station to broadcast emergency information to residents during time of an emergency. The station also broadcasts information on local emergency exercises and preparedness information. During the H1N1 flu response information on handwashing, and vaccine clinics was also announced.
The Davis County station is 1700 AM and can be heard in most parts of the county. Residents are encouraged to include this frequency as a pre-set station in all vehicles and at home. The station is easier to hear during the daytime, and when the car engine is not running. Other area emergency radio frequencies include: Box Elder County (1600 AM), Cache County (1610 AM), Clearfield City (1680 AM), Morgan County (530 AM), and Weber County (1350 AM).
Remember to include a battery-operated radio as part of your emergency preparedness kits, valuable information will be shared via these radio frequencies, even when the power is out.
