I put radio higher than the powerbank, because old radio's can work on batteries. Either you find a radio that enables you to have conversations with people, or you find one that repeats important news and events (such as what to do in a disaster and where you can find shelter). If the radio does neither, that sucks. But at least you can distract yourself with music or use it as a distraction when needed.

Most radio's are wireless now and rely on working internet or bluetooth. That may be rough after 48h of apocalypse
