Cell phones would be better for emergency purposes.

A 1kW AM station can reach 100,000 people. How many people can a cellphone reach?

Here’s how I solve that issue. My radios are kind of old, so this might not work for you.

Most of my radios have a tuning knob. I’ve found that by rotating the tuning knob, I can tune the radio up and down the dial. If there’s a station I don’t like, I don’t listen to it. I keep tuning until I find a station I do like. That’s the station I listen to.

Other people might listen to stations I don’t like, but that’s their choice.
