Andi,
It's a weather radio. I bought one several years ago, and bought them for all our kids. When dangerous weather (tornado conditions, etc) occur in the area, the alarm is triggered and we can turn on the radio to hear the NOAA warnings.
We have them too Betty - although lately only thing that disturbed us was wrong number call at 4:15 AM this morning - phone ringing at that hour makes your heart stop -
