I've looked around at Best Buy, Walmart, and Target and haven't found one. I'm guessing I'm not the only person who got spooked by the recent hurricanes and thought to gather supplies just to be prepared. I'm going to some outdoor gear stores this weekend like REI and I bet I'll find something there.

Hi Depending on your budget a hand held digital scanner can do what you want. The one I have is not water proof, and is rechargeable (I have a solar charger). It is a vintage Radio Shack one that is programmable for 10 channels. What I like is that it is far more sensitive than the typical "emergency" radio. Used ones ought to go for nearly nothing.
I miss Radio Shack. Are you talking about a police scanner? If so, I actually have one of those. It was my grandfathers, but it still works.
