Eton FRX3 - Emergency Power To Charge Up Your Mobile Devices

The events in Oklahoma yesterday should cause everyone to start thinking about what we might do in the event of an emergency because of a disaster such as this. It does not matter whether it is a hurricane, tornado or earthquake. The resulting damage and impact has far reaching effects. The first and most obvious needs are going to be food and shelter, so you need to have plans or at least an idea of what you are going to do. If you only have an idea, now is the time to put together your plan. As part of those plans, the Eton FRX3 is the one item that you need to have as part of your emergency kit. It can provide you with a number of different benefits in an emergency.

The Eton FRX3 is associated with the American Red Cross. While the Eton may not look like much, it is a multifunctional unit which will meet a number of your needs in an emergency. The big item from a technology perspective is that it can charge up your mobile devices. Your ability to communicate with friends and family is extremely important to let everyone know that you are safe. The Eton FRX3 contains a battery which can provide power to charge via the USB port. And when that runs down, you can charge it up via a car cigarette lighter. Or you can use the included Solar Panel or use the hand crank to add juice to the included battery. This will give you the ability to communicate over the web until power is restored. And that might be several days.

As in so many past disasters, phone service is disrupted for days. And that includes the cell towers as well, so with communications down, you need to have some way of hearing what is going on in the world. The Eton FRX3 includes a radio which can let you listen to AM or FM stations along with the national weather as well. A very important feature when you do not know what is going on and when services might be restored.

It is not that big of a device at 2.6 high by 6.9 long and 5.8 inches wide. And is less than 1 pound. There is an included LED light which will come in handy when there is no power. All of this in a compact package to give you some of the conveniences of life when things go wrong. And it gives you the big feature of being able to keep your smart phone working when there is no power for an extended period of time.

The ETon FRX3 is available at Amazon for $56.06. You should considering buying this for the next disaster which may happen.
