Make Sure Flashy is Functional

OEM has always suggested New Yorkers have a flashlight and extra batteries in case of emergencies. These days, though, some flashlights no longer require batteries. Shake flashlights and hand-crank flashlights use magnetic induction to power long-lasting LED lights. While you will not have to replace the batteries or bulbs in these new flashlights, you may have to use both hands to operate them. If you're interested in alternative flashlights, make sure to try them out before you purchase. Things can happen quickly during an emergency and you don't need any surprises with your supplies.
