In an emergency where critical infrastructure is experiencing outage, local information will almost always be broadcast over AM (also referred to as Medium Wave) and/or FM. It is for this reason, at the least, a simple AM(MW)/FM radio with charged batteries and spares should be acquired and stored in an accessible place. They can usually be bought very cheaply.

It is good to buy am AM(MW)/FM radio with a mini-jack socket and extendable antenna. The mini-jack socket allows for plugging in headphones which can be useful when reception quality is poor. The extendable antenna can greatly aid in finding and receiving a broadcast. | It is good to buy am AM(MW)/FM radio with a mini-jack socket and extendable antenna.
