AI6YR Ben#disaster #preparation tip: it's handy to have a way to receive #weather #radio (battery operated!) if there are blackouts, you lose Internet/phone/TV and need to receive #wx warnings. Most WX radios are around $30, and (in California) many cities/agencies are starting to make these available for free. (some cheaper ones, but unknown quality to me--random brand names...)
Kinene⭐🐻@ai6yr Red Cross often gives out emergency radios at county fairs or other public information events(at least in CA fire country):
Eton brand, small, rechargeable batteries/solar/crank/DC powered; slots for USB phone charging and headphones; AM, FM, weather bands; and LED light.
