Do you have a plan in place for an emergency situation? Unfortunately, we all should. Even if you've been intending to put together an emergency kit but haven't quite gotten around to doing it, good intentions won't get you very far in an actual emergency.

Here's a tip for getting started: grab this Emergency Multi-Function Radio & Flashlight. This handy gadget will check off multiple boxes for under $20, and take up minimal space in the meantime. It boasts a radio that can monitor both AM and FM stations as well as the NOAA 24/7 weather broadcast. With solar panels and a built-in hand crank, all the functionality can stay powered self-sufficiently, including its onboard battery for charging USB devices and an LED flashlight that lasts 100,000 hours.

You'd never know how much is included in this flashlight because of how compact it is at only 5 inches long. It's perfect for anyone who wants to be prepared but doesn't want to invest in an apocalypse bunker just yet. 

Buy it now for $18.99, which is a steep 78% discount off its $89.95 price tag. Plus, for a limited time only, enter promo code SAVE15 at checkout to save an extra 15% on your purchase.
