COLERIDGE, Neb. (AP) — Free weather alert radios will be distributed in five northeast Nebraska towns on Tuesday.

The event is sponsored by the Northeast Nebraska Long Term Recovery Team, a volunteer group formed after tornadoes struck northeast Nebraska last summer.

The radios may be picked up from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Wakefield Fire Station in Wakefield and the Coleridge Fire Station in Coleridge. Other distribution points are the Wisner Fire Station in Wisner and the swimming pool in Pilger, both from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the Stanton Fire Station in Stanton from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The radios will be preprogrammed for the appropriate county/counties. There is a limit of one radio per household.
