Emergency Radios & Survival Walkie Talkies

Prepare for local communication during power cuts, camping trips and time away from mobile coverage with Baofeng emergency radios and survival walkie talkies. Compare licence-free radio options with models requiring an appropriate licence, or browse two-way radio multi-packs to equip your group. Check each model’s battery options, charging method and included equipment. Direct communication does not rely on a mobile network, but everyone needs compatible handsets and matching settings. Choose a setup you can charge, carry and practise using before you need it.
📶

Communication Without Mobile Coverage

Compatible handsets can communicate directly without mobile signal or Wi-Fi. Coverage still depends on terrain, buildings and the position of each radio.

🔋

Plan Your Backup Power

Compare battery types and charging methods. Check whether your chosen model supports spare batteries or charging from a suitable backup power source.

👥

Equip Your Group

Compare pack sizes for the people who need to stay in contact. Plan who carries each radio and agree on compatible settings before heading out.

🎮

Choose Practical Controls

Look for controls your group can use confidently. Consider button layout, display readability and how easily you can adjust the volume or select a channel.

🌨

Match the Radio to Conditions

Check the model’s stated operating conditions and any water-resistance rating. Choose equipment suited to where you will carry and use it.

FAQs About Emergency Radios

What is the difference between an emergency broadcast radio and a walkie talkie?
An emergency broadcast radio receives information, while a walkie talkie lets users talk to one another using compatible radios. Some handheld two-way radios also include broadcast reception, but features vary by model. This collection focuses on two-way radios for local communication rather than dedicated wind-up or solar broadcast receivers.
Do walkie talkies work during a power cut or without mobile signal?
Yes. Compatible walkie talkies can communicate directly without mains electricity, mobile coverage or Wi-Fi, provided their batteries have power. Their usable range depends on the surroundings, so test your intended locations and plan how you will recharge or replace batteries.
Which features should I look for in an emergency radio?
Prioritise a suitable radio type, manageable controls and a practical battery plan. Compare charging methods, spare-battery availability, portability and any stated weather protection. Choose features your group understands and can test beforehand rather than relying on advertised power or range alone.
Can an emergency walkie talkie contact the emergency services?
Do not assume that a walkie talkie can contact the emergency services. A standard handheld radio does not place a 999 or 112 telephone call, and an alarm button does not necessarily notify rescuers. Use it as an additional way to communicate with your own group, alongside an appropriate way to request emergency assistance.
How should I prepare walkie talkies for an emergency kit?
Charge and test every handset, confirm compatible settings and label the radios so each person knows which one to use. Keep suitable charging equipment or compatible spare batteries with the kit, following the manufacturer’s storage instructions. Review the setup periodically and practise communication from the locations where you expect to use it.
