Emergency Crank Radio: A Must Have in Every Emergency Kit

Article Category: Recreation

Author Name: Don Carter, Jr

You will never know when calamities may strike. So instead of being caught unprepared, it is best to always have your emergency kit with you-both inside your home and even in your car in case you are mobile when an emergency happens. The fact is emergency kits have been proven to be very useful and valuable especially in the onslaught of inclement weather such as the case when hurricanes Katrina and Sandy struck.

In this regard, one of the foremost tools that you must have in your kit is the emergency crank radio. When a disaster hits-whether man made or natural-access to information becomes very crucial. You have to know the advisories from your local government or even the emergency responders. But chances are, communication lines and broadcast channels or frequencies are also down. Even in cases of long power outages, getting news via the television, computer and plug in radios will be impossible.

This is then where the importance of the emergency crank radio comes in. Since it does not rely on electricity as its power source, it is very useful during power outages and when you are mobile. It will serve as your back up source of information and advisories to guide you when it comes to evacuation or in deciding whatever proper course of action to take.

The emergency crank radio is powered through the hand crank. It usually takes about half of a minute to two minutes to charge it. Then it can already run for around half an hour to a full hour. A lot of this type of emergency radio also has other power sources. For instance, there are those that are battery-powered so all you have to do is organize your supply of batteries. There are also those that have adapters; while others are solar powered. This wide variety of ways to power up the crank radio is one of its strong suits that make it extremely helpful during emergency situations.

Most of the models of the emergency crank radio receive information / signal via the AM and FM channels. On the other hand, there are also those that can receive shortwave radio signals. The latter will also allow you to hear information broadcasted via international channels-you don't know when these will be helpful. Apart from that, the crank radio can tune in to the weather band. This can let you access information that are particular to natural disasters, most especially those that are caused by different weather systems.

Given this variety of channels, bands and wavelengths, you will have better chances of getting information to help you during emergency cases.

Besides being a radio communicator, the emergency crank radio also serves multiple uses . You can find models that have an emergency flash light built in. This is powered by the hand crank method, as well. The more high tech models nowadays even allow charging of cellular phones.
