Radio Stations

One of the most important needs in an emergency is information, and one of the best tools to get it (for those who can hear) is a simple radio. Emergency radio stations will provide news about major events: what happened, what you can expect, where to go and information about resources. Learn your local emergency radio station – it may be an all-news station normally, or a dedicated wavelength – and mark it on your radios and in your emergency supplies. A simple sticker on your radio, or programming one of your pre-set buttons, is all it takes. If you have a dedicated emergency radio, leave it set to that station.
