In times of disaster, emergency radios can be your
only link to what's happening in the outside world. Often the authorities issue
an "Evacuate or Shelter in place" message over the airwaves,
which is information you need to know. During Hurricane
Katrina the coast guard issued a message over the airwaves
asking poeple to hang sheets out their windows if they were in
need of rescue... but most people had no power and no
emergency radios, and therefore did not receive the
message.

Hand Cranked emergency radios are very affordable, every
home should have one as a part of their comprehensive disaster
plan and kit. When you select an emergency radio for your
Emergency Supply Kit, there are some key features you should
compare so you get the radio thats right for you. Below you
will find comparisons for some of the more popular radios...
but remember, its not crucial to have ALL the bells and
whistles, the cheapest radio you can find will be 100% better
than being caught unprepared with nothing at all. |
