Today, several West Kentucky HAM Radio operators had the opportunity to tour and learn from the incredible team at the National Weather Service Paducah.

It was an outstanding educational experience, giving us a deeper understanding of weather operations, forecasting, and how we can better serve our communities through communication and preparedness.

We truly appreciate the time and knowledge shared—opportunities like this strengthen the partnerships that make a difference when it matters most!

Established in 1961 by Congress, National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) was originated to raise awareness of poison prevention and safety. NPPW is celebrated and observed every year during the third week in March, and we hope you will join us in spreading awareness of poison dangers and prevention.

Today, poisoning remains the leading cause of injury-related death in the U.S. More people die of poisoning every year than gun or car-related injuries. In 2022, through the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) and website (Poisonhelp.Org), U.S. Poison Centers responded to 2,427,974 total cases, on average receiving a new case every 15 seconds.

NPPW helps to raise awareness of prevention, and the best prevention of a poison emergency we have is to have Poison Help’s contact information saved and on hand in case of accidental exposure.
