Using A Radio During Emergencies

Article Category: Family Concerns

Author Name: Don Carter

In times of disasters, it is important to have an emergency radio nearby because it keeps the household updated with what's going on outside. Buying this kind of radio shouldn't be a challenge because most radios have the same features. It is of primary importance to own a radio capable of picking up AM stations because these stations often broadcast the latest relief, weather, and news instructions for the communities affected by a disaster or emergency like a dam break, chemical spill, earthquake, tornado, power outage, snow storm, hurricane, forest fires, or civil unrest. Since a disaster can occur any time, an emergency radio must be ready at all times.

An emergency radio is important in providing news during emergencies because its transmission makes use of low frequency wavelengths. At night, when there's no solar energy affecting the radio waves, an AM radio broadcast can even be transmitted using lower power transmitters. Thus, for wide geographic areas, it is possible to provide news even with a few radio stations in operation.

Although the AM band had fewer listeners in previous decades, it is good to note that a lot of people are turning to it again because most AM stations now have afternoon talk radio. Because of this, high-quality radios capable of broadcasting AM stations are in demand. These radios now have filters which reduce static better. For emergencies, the emergency radio can broadcast local news.

When there's an emergency, it is possible-usual, even-for the community to experience power outages. Therefore, television is rendered useless. Thus, a portable emergency radio will be the primary source of weather and news reports. Even if the community has different radio stations, the government will still maintain at least one AM station for emergency and disaster broadcasting. In cases of emergency, an instructional recording will often be heard on the radio informing everyone to turn to a particular station to hear the disaster or emergency broadcasts.

A portable emergency radio must have a speaker system of high quality to make it easier for anyone to listen to the news. However, it is also good to note that the speaker consumes more power than an earphone. As such, it may be good to have a radio capable of broadcasting through a speaker or earphone. It may be good to use an earphone when a person doesn't want to bother people around him or when he is on the move.

A good emergency radio is also multifunctional. It is great for emergencies but it can also have additional uses. It can have a flashlight and flashing emergency light. When the latter light is activated, a siren goes off to get the attention of anyone in the vicinity. This feature is useful when one is injured, trapped, or lost during hiking trips. A good emergency radio can also play MP3 files with high quality sound. It can have an AUX audio input functionality so that it can be a speaker system for a desktop computer, MP3 player, or any mobile device.
