Your local RadioShack and RadioShack.com carry everything you need with one of the largest weather and emergency radio assortments available. Associates are also standing by to help you pick the right products to protect your electronics and keep you connected.  In fact, through August of this year with the help of our customers, RadioShack has raised more than $450,000 in donations to the American Red Cross directly benefitting communities impacted by tornados.
