The Montgomery 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.

“The Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is proud to partner with Lowe's and TEMA on this effort. NOAA Weather Radios are one of the most reliable ways to get timely and potentially life-saving information during severe weather or other emergencies and are a critical tool when the power is out or cell networks are down,” said Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency Director Steve Batten.

Tune It Tuesday Event Details: 

• Tuesday, September 23, 2025
• 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Clarksville Lowe’s: 2150 Lowes Dr, Clarksville, TN 37040

• EMA personnel will be assisting community members with programming new or existing NOAA Weather Radios.
