What is an instrument that searches emergency channels?

its called a police scanner... you can access any police, fire, EMS, or private channels with it. you need an antenna which has to be secured to the exterior of your vehicle (assuming you want it for a car). police scanners allow a person to only listen... you aren't allowed to speak on these channels, or access them in any way unless you have fire department/ police department credentials. you can access your local fire/ police websites and it will tell you what channel they are broadcasting at. although a heads up... if you dont understand police and fire radio code then it is pointless to get a radio. you can get a small scanner at radio shack, or other electronic stores for about 150 dollars. there are only a few that are commercially available to the general public, and are usually in the range from 100 to 400 dollars. your most basic scanner will be able to do anything you can need though, because it provides access to hundreds of channels, and will give you a chance to select your favorite channels.

How about...."home alone"\nYou could review all the devices that can monitor the safe running of the home whilst not occuppied.i.e. burglar alarms.\nThere is now a device to call you when water is detected from broken pipes.Maybe you could come up with some new ideas not yet available.\nHope this helps.

If it's already happening, I think you should quickly hide under a desk. Or if there's a warning siren or smth, you should run to the nearest shelter or place where your government has designated it to be a place to seek refuge during such emergencies.

I would like to have the ability to detect danger.  Kind of like a "spider-sense".

Animal behavior study. A transmitter is attached to a birds leg, a deer's neck. This helps to determine if animals move out of the habitat which they were born.\n\nUsed to record wild life in a given area, sound and pictures as animals move tripping a motion detector.\n\nEarthquake detection:\nAlso, to detect ground motion near fault lines such as in California or on volcanic mountains which may errupt. Also, detection for sulpher contamination which is another indicator.\n\nTsunami warning:\nAs a tsunami detection in the ocean. Yes, the US has used detectors as far back as in 1941. Not all countries support the need which could have saved lives if used in the India Ocean.\nCheck out the following link on buoy use for detection:

Well it depends on whether the sirens are used for an emergency or not. Are they just being tested? If so, ignore them. Or are they there for a specific reason (ie tornadoes or manmade disasters like nuclear accidents). Turn on a local radio station and listen for instructions. Also, if you have cable TV then turn on a local channel (or a channel that offers local news programming) and see if there is an Emergency Broadcast Warning with instructions on what you should be doing. If none of these medium are available, I think you best bet is to round up any kids you have and be vigilant. I mean, common sense says if a massive thunderstorm is rolling in, get in the house, right? \n\nIt's always a good idea to keep an emergency preparedness kit handy. Non perishable foods, water, toiletries, flashlights, batteries, a radio, and enough cash for about three days. Some people really take it to the extreme but I keep two cases of water and some canned goods in the basement pantry. \n\nWhat it boils down to is don't panic. Panic is catchy and can heighten tensions to a boiling point in any situation. Keep your cool, be prepared, and have a few board games handy in case the power goes out.
