We live in a world of extreme uncertainties and unpredictability. Natural disasters, environmental hazards, and other public emergencies can keep the entire state machinery on tenterhooks. When nature strikes, it doesn't leave you and your near and dear ones with much time for taking cover. In such cases, it is extremely important that you receive warning of impending dangers well in time, so that you can be prepared. Emergency weather radios are there for this very purpose. These portable emergency radios are life-saving tools worth owning, especially in areas known for unpredictable weather conditions.
Let me take you through certain advanced models of weather alert radios manufactured by Midland. WR-100B and WR-300 are public alert radios, which broadcast weather forecasts 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. They keep you updated by monitoring all the weather stations of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and report any unusual change in weather. In case of any danger, they blare out a 90dB loud siren, which is sure to wake you up even from the deepest of slumber. You can easily check the nature of the emergency using the color-coded alert light or read the description on the blue backlit display. It also supports the Specific Area Message Encoding (S.A.M.E.) technology, which ensures that you are alerted to mishaps that take place in your locality. You also have the option of expanding the coverage to areas that are close enough for you to be affected. These portable emergency radios come with a host of other features as well. You can tune in to your favorite radio stations or use them as alarm clocks.
I would personally recommend that you go for Midland ER102 Emergency Crank Radios, which will keep you company even during power outages. They can run on batteries or AC adapters. They also have built-in rechargeable batteries, which, by turning the Dynamo crank, can be charged manually. These portable weather radios can even charge your cell phones.
