Investing in a NOAA weather radio is investing in staying safe and informed even (or especially) if you don’t have access to electricity. Designed specifically to pick up alerts about extreme weather and natural disasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, they’re powered by batteries, hand cranks, solar panels, or a combination of the three. Most models have loud alarms and flashing lights. Plus, many of them have extras like AM and FM stations, phone charging ports, and flashlights to make the wait for power a little easier.
