Officials have contacted YWN and said that Posek Harav Yaakov Forscheimer Shlita was contacted in regards to keeping a radio on for this Shabbos. It was Paskened, that Lakewood residents may keep a radio on, on station 107.9 for the duration of Shabbos, out of the reach of family members.
The station 107.9 will remain silent from Licht Benchen (Candle Lighting) until 72 minutes after Shkiah on Shabbos, and will only be active should there be any emergency alerts to announce.
Officials say they do not expect the Hurricane to hit on Shabbos.

What if there is an evacuation on shabbos??
Are we allowed to get in the cat and drive?
How will keeping on the radio help? Even if you hear the storm is coming on Sunday, what can you do on Shabbos?
what about nyc?
If it is pikuach nefesh, then yes – it’s assur not to drive away! If they’re evacuating, it’s only because it really is dangerous to stay. Don’t try to be a hero! You’ll just be a chossid shoteh.
Leaving radios on on Shabbas!?!
To all who use the ‘sakana’ of living in Eretz Yisrael as an excuse for staying here…
HaSh-m is sending us a message – DON’T THINK IT IS SAFER TO BE IN CHUTZ LA’ARETZ THAN IN ERETZ YISRAEL!
If HaSh-m wants you to be safe you WILL be.
If He wants you in sakana you WILL be.
It is written that the ‘eyes’ of HaSh-m are on WHERE from the beginning of the year to the end of the year?
Hint: It’s NOT Brooklyn, and it’s NOT Lakewood.
Currently, it seems that 107.9 is out of order.
Yes number 1. I will pasken for you. You may get in your CAT and drive away.LOL. Checking spelling just takes a few extra “secunds”
