radios are a powerful tool in disaster relief situations. They are an
indispensable way to provide reliable information to vulnerable population,
help the humanitarian relief and ease the fear and worries of the population in
tense situations. These radios are deeply rooted in their communities and serve
as a focal point for the population to get the services they deserve and need
in their language. In emergency situations, community radios can help make a
difference.</span></font></p>
