Since TV straddles three counties, we took our monitor over to the nearby fire station and they kindly set it for the appropriate area.

BTW, we keep an emergency supply backpack in our interior closet (aka "The Bunker"). It contains a wind-up radio/flashlight in case we lose power, duct tape, gloves, whistle, first aid, etc. After last night, we decided to take inventory so we remembered what it contained and how to use the wind-up radio. We also cleared a shelf in there for overnight storage for purse, wallet, hearing aids, cell phones, etc. Next time we head for The Bunker, we'll be much more confident.
