Cumberland County, Tenn.– The Cumberland County Emergency Management Agency is joining the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) and Lowe’s for Tune It Tuesday, a statewide weather radio programming event happening on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

This initiative aims to help Tennesseans prepare for emergencies by ensuring NOAA Weather Radios are correctly programmed to receive location-specific emergency alerts.

“NOAA All Hazard Radios are an important tool for every household to utilize for the most fail-safe method to receive emergency alerts and information. Being prepared for emergencies is a personal responsibility and ensuring the most accurate information is received in a timely manner is an important first step in making your families’ emergency plan a success when it matters most. I am very grateful for our partnership with TEMA and Lowe’s which allows us the opportunity to participate in this initiative for the benefit of our citizens.” -Cumberland Co. EMA Director Travis Cole
