Weather radios eyed for Amish communities

January 4, 2023

In the wake of flash floods and tornadoes that have devastated Kentucky over the last few years, several meteorologists and emergency management directors are working to make sure communities that shun some forms of technology for religious purposes, such as Amish communities in western Kentucky, can still receive weather alerts in the event of an emergency.

Weather Awareness for a Rural Nation (WARN) is working with Midland Radio, using input from people who live in Amish communities, to develop battery-powered weather radios that would meet the Amish and other Plain (a term used to describe the collective of groups such as Amish and Mennonite groups whose religious practices are characterized by a separation from the world and modest clothing) communities’ religious standards for technology use.

“ Before you came to speak, I mistakenly assumed that the Amish had a good sense of the Bible and how important it is to be saved. Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. ” - Ravenna, OH
