Purchase a battery/crank powered radio
Be sure to include a AM/FM radio in your disaster supplies.
- Store the radio and batteries in a Ziplock bag to keep the batteries fresh and ready to use.
-
For regional information on a disaster, tune into KIRO 710 AM / 97.3 FM and KOMO 1000 AM / 97.7 FM.
-
For Kitsap specific information, tune to KITZ 1400 AM.
- For weather alerts in our region, consider loading the NOAA weather app or purchasing a NOAA weather radio
Purchase walkie talkies
A great way to stay connected with your immediate neighbors is with small two-way radios, especially when cell phone service may be impacted by a disaster.
- The Family Radio Service (FRS) frequency walkie-talkies do not require a license use and are modestly priced.
- Agree with your neighbors beforehand as to the channel you will use.
- This is a great way to check in with each other and to coordinate your efforts in helping each other.
