Residences within a five-mile radius of the Harris Plant receive tone alert weather radios. If you have one of these radios, it is important that you understand how to use it properly. The pamphlet and instructions you received with your radio explain how the radio works and what to do if it does not work as intended. Keep the pamphlet and instructions in a safe place near the radio.

You should always keep the radio plugged in, turned on, tuned to the frequency for your area and located in a place so that it can be heard, especially while sleeping. You should also keep a battery in the radio in event of a power outage.

If there is an emergency at the Harris Plant, a weather emergency, or if the radios are being tested, the radio will sound an alarm. When you hear the alarm, follow the instructions provided with your radio to receive information and instructions.

If you have questions about your tone alert radio or if you live in the five-mile radius and do not have a radio, please call our customer service center at 919-508-5400 or 800-452-2777.
