This Gurapika Emergency Radio & Flashlight can pick up earthquake and emergency warning signals and transmit the alert message audibly, acting as a personalized early warning system that will be much more effective than the earthquake apps now available on smartphones.
In addition to receiving FM and AM radio signals, it also lights up at the same time, giving you visual indication of the danger. Plus it can function as an LED light and lantern during emergencies, and which can be hand-cranked when your regular power supply has been cut off. It can also be charged by your iPhone 5 or other device, making this an indispensable tool for any household concerned about being prepared in case the worst happens.
