The FIRST Response disaster radio field trial team members have been talking to the local people in Nagapattinam to see who’s been listening to their broadcasts.
Instead of waiting for a disaster to happen, relationships are being built between agencies now as they discuss how to work together, with each one using their strengths to help save lives.
Based on previous experiences, Feba, FEBC and partners have developed the FIRST Response system along with workshops on the unique role that radio plays in disaster response.
Today is the first day of the workshop in Bangalore, India, which combines background knowledge about radio with the unique environment experienced from disaster relief work.
