New features on the old device: What your emergency radio should have

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Don Carter

The radio is one of the oldest forms of media, used to entertain and inform people with songs and news. And even with the advancement in technology, the radio still has a place in many people's lives.

It is expected that every family, especially those who are expecting a calamity (such as a hurricane or storm), should have their own emergency radio. One reason is that a radio, unlike mobile phones, can receive more transmissions. Since mobile phones are restricted to receiving signals from their respective network operators only, their users have a greater tendency to be disconnected if their signal provider (satellite) is broken. With radio, you can be updated of the news without relying on any particular operator to provide the signal.

What features should your emergency radio have?

With the importance of the radio in emergency situations already mentioned, it is also important to know the things that you should look for in your radio. Here are some features that you can consider:

Lightweight - you can evacuate from your area at a much faster rate if what you're carrying is light. You need to choose an emergency radio that doesn't take too much space from your emergency kit and is easy to carry. Look for a model that is not too bulky and can be brought by even the youngest member of your family.

It should be digital and have an automatic search function - every second in an emergency situation is important . Therefore, you have to make sure that you can tune in to any news broadcasting station as early as possible. This task can be made easier if you will buy an emergency radio that can automatically search for the station. This function makes sure that the radio station you will be listening to can be heard clearly rather than manually searching for it.

It can work on different power sources - since it will be your primary source of information while stranded or in an evacuation center, you need to make sure that it can serve its purpose for extended periods . Since you do not always have access to an electric power source, your emergency radio should be able to function even if it uses another power source. This includes running on batteries (and even dry cell), and can run using solar power and kinetic energy. New models of radio have hand cranks that can be used to recharge the batteries.

Built-in flashlight - your emergency radio should also have a flashlight to illuminate your surroundings .

USB port - if your mobile phones can be recharged in a USB port, it is best that your emergency radio also has it. If you're stranded, this will help you establish a connection with anyone who can help you. New models of radio now have this feature alongside its ability to be recharged even without electricity.

The radio, even with its simple design, still proves itself to be useful - especially when modern technology fails to give the information that you need.
