[EAS] Rochester Station Offers to Charge Cell Phones

[Mike McCarthy]

And as I recall my two week trip there a couple years ago, a lot of
granite  close to the surface and mountains. Which also makes burying
anything a costly challenge in those areas.

Illinois has been running PSA's for a while touting being ready. One
series uses Miriam Ross in her Happy Day's mom character questioning a
business owner about whether his business was prepared rattling off a lit
of things needed to see a business survive? Including whether his
employees were ready.

Then in a later spot and following the business owner saying he and his
employees can survive anything, she then deadpan asked whether his
*vendors* were ready.

The commercials are Dick Orkin-ish and rather entertaining to listen.  But
the message is really that we all need to be ready....at home....and at
work.
