Silent Call Covers Severe Weather

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 15:13:17 +0000

Every year as seasons change, people lose their lives to severe weather due to being unaware and not having time to get to safety. Silent Call Communications has a new Weather Alert Kit (WALD-1) that allows people to be alerted to a weather statement, watch or warning. The LCD readout on the weather radio identifies the specific alert, such as a tornado watch, etc. It is important to be aware of weather changes, as people’s lives are at risk and everything could change within seconds. The Weather Alert Kit includes a Weather Alert Radio, a Weather Alert Transmitter, a Lamplighter Receiver (works with any household lamp), and a Bed Shaker to be alert while sleeping. This is a fantastic alerting system for anyone who wants to be aware of various weather conditions and safety. This could be a great gift of comfort for someone who lives alone, has children, seniors, people who are hard of hearing, deaf, or deaf/blind in the home.

The Weather Alert Transmitter connects to the Weather Alert Radio and when used with a dual connector, multiple alerting devices can be used at one time, including a strobe light or bed vibrator for alerting purposes. The Weather Alert Radio gets programmed by contacting the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and obtaining codes for the area in which a person lives. The NOAA phone number and website will be included with the radio. These codes are easily programmed into the radio and then the radio is ready to provide current weather conditions. The Weather Alert Radio has battery backup, so if the power goes out, it will still function.

Fire Safety

Smoke alarms save lives. But those who are deaf or hard of hearing cannot depend on the sound of the alarm to alert them to a fire. There are now a variety of smoke alarms on the market that combine sound and light to alert those with limited hearing that there is a fire in the home.

Facts & Figures

15 of every 16 homes (94%) in the U.S. have at least one smoke alarm.
One-half of home fire deaths occur in the 6% of homes with no smoke alarms.
Half of all fatal fires start at night when people are asleep.

Safety Tips

Remember to factor in residents’ hearing limitations when developing and practicing your home fire escape plan.

Consider installing a smoke alarm that uses a flashing light, vibration and/or sound to alert people to a fire emergency. The majority of fatal fires occur when people are sleeping, and because smoke can put people into a deeper sleep, it is important to have the necessary early warning of a fire to ensure that they wake up.

Consider installing a smoke alarm with an extra loud horn. Some alarms now feature horns that sound an 85-decibel alarm.

Be sure that the smoke alarm you buy carries the label of an independent testing laboratory.

Keep a communications device nearby. If you use a TTY/TTD device, place it close to the bed so that communication with emergency personnel is possible should fire or smoke trap you in your room.
