Hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires … recent events have shown us just how quickly the unexpected can turn our world upside down. But we can do small things to prepare for emergencies, like putting together a survival kit in case of a natural disaster or power outage.

An easy place to start is an emergency light. You’ll need a way to see in the dark or flash emergency signals for help. This keychain flashlight does both and more without taking up too much space. Get a pack of two for home and on the go for $27.99 (reg. $69.98) and save 60 percent.

This mini flashlight isn’t like one of those ones you got for free that’ll eventually die for good—it’s a legit emergency flashlight. It’s one of those things that you don’t think you really need until you don’t have it. So, get it before you’re S.O.L.

Imagine you’re caught up in a blizzard, earthquake, or tropical storm, and the power in your home goes out. Or maybe you’re stranded on the side of the road. Either way, you’re stuck in the dark and wish you had light. Oh yeah, you bought that light from us—you’re welcome, by the way.

Unlike those cheap keychain flashlights, this one is USB-C rechargeable. So, if you’re stuck without power for longer than that, you can use a power bank to quickly top it off.

It also has a magnetic base and a hands-free clip. Those might come in handy if you’re changing your tire on the dark roadside or trying to cook yourself mac and cheese over the gas stove without starting a fire.

This is a must-have for your emergency preparedness kit, especially if you haven’t started making one yet. Order a 2-pack of these micro flashlights for $27.99 for yourself or share with a friend (reg. $69.98).

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
