    Most people get their emergency notifications on their mobile phone.

    Don’t have a mobile phone in the year 2020+??

    Then you’re doing it wrong.

      Today is day 6 of some people still not having power after the recent barrage of nearly hurricane-strength storms along the southern US.

      Those cheap AM/FM/weather radios that run off AA batteries are invaluable.

      Phones are great for emergency notifications but I think AM would be better for long-term sustained emergencies. It’s a highly highly unlikely event though.
