Fact #1. To get a reliable weather and emergency radio, you will need to spend a little money. It's a fair price to pay for a device that might play a role in a gravely serious situation. You want to spend the money on a good unit even if you doubt you'll ever use it in an emergency. The one time you do rely on your radio, it will have paid for itself many times over.
Fact #2. Many emergency and weather radios are designed to pick up even faint signals. They can detect radio waves broadcast across a wide spectrum, including AM, FM, and other less common frequencies. It's a good idea to select a unit that can detect communications from CB and ham radios. You can be aided by information sent both from professional broadcast stations, government outposts, and from other concerned individuals.
Fact #3. Most emergency and weather radios offer long battery life. For someone who fears they may be cut off from a reliable power source or without backup batteries, the best choice is a unit with a built-in hand crank. Some radios also feature solar power charging options, which can be a great help when the sun is shining.
Fact #4. When looking for an emergency and weather radio, there are a few features to consider. Built-in flashlights could help you find your way out of an emergency situation, and help rescuers find you, thanks to its bright light. Some radios also feature output power, which will help you charge your mobile phone or other small devices. For the truly well-prepared person, one of these options is the best bet.
Fact #5. It's a good idea to know which radio stations you'll check for updates in the event of an emergency. Take the time to find your local station numbers and pre-set your radio station to those frequencies. You might also want to write the information down to be sure you have it on hand if and when it's needed.
