I would like to recommend the Midland XT511 Emergency Radio for your consideration.
It has AM, FM, & Weather bands as well as FRS and GMRS two way radio.
It has a clock with alarm function, and a light that works like a flashlight.
It recharges using solar or hand crank, and can even recharge a cellphone using a USB port. It can also recharge Midland’s modular batteries for their walkie talkie units.
It has a built in battery, but can use a couple of other types as well.
For all around emergency use, it’s great at just under $80 if you shop around. I see one currently on ebay at that price.
Check out the specs on it. You’ll love it! I bought two of them some time back, and haven’t been disappointed!
Thanks John – appreciate the suggestions!

I’d like to suggest two additional fiction books that actually have some useful insights into emergency preparedness. Alas Babylon by Pat Frank (1959) and War Day by Whitley Streiber and James Kunetka (1984) are both works of fiction, but contain nuggets of useful information in end-time scenarios.
