Ep. 154 - How One Device Can Make Camps Safer Everywhere
Description
Summer camp should be all about fun, freedom, and the great outdoors. But when severe weather strikes, those carefree moments can turn dangerous in an instant. That’s why Julie Kay Roberts launched Signal & Shield, a national initiative equipping over 12,000 youth camps with NOAA Weather Radios and training staff to act quickly when alerts sound.
In this episode, Julie shares the urgent “alert gap” most camps face, why minutes matter in a storm, and how one simple device can save lives. We’ll explore the partnerships making it possible, stories from the field, and how you can help bring safety — and peace of mind — to camps everywhere.
🎙️ Whether you’re a parent, camp leader, or just passionate about preparedness, this is a conversation that could save lives.
