Production Next For Raid Signal
An air raid warning system for households called the National Emergency Farm Repeater, developed at Midwest Research Institute in Kansas City, could be produced for under $10 and plugged into a home outlet. Officials say power substations would need generators to operate the signal, with nationwide installation possible at about $1 per home. A pilot study in Detroit and Michigan’s southern half was awarded an $80,000 contract earlier this month.
