In our profession we understand that above our desire to entertain you, we have a duty to keep you and your family safe. A lot of times that means being away from our families during hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Imagine how difficult it would be to stay focused on your job as a radio announcer knowing that deadly tornado was heading right for you home where your two children were there alone!
