Not in the US fortunately, but I have been on summer family road trips that started as sunshine and fun and ended with the whole country in flames, evacuations and finding a route home through fires in multiple states. Phones and apps are great when they work. But AM radio and an independent public funded national broadcaster are quite literally going to be taken away over someones dead body.
Last summer, we had fire and flood evacuations on either side of the cape. Phone reception is spotty and DAB/FM barely works but AM gets through. Many lives get saved by AM radio and public broadcasters.
