ABC Radio gears up for Summer in its role as an emergency broadcaster.
Local radio stations were a vital link for communication in last years bush fires, and the ABC is gearing up stations in preparation for the possibility of emergencies this summer.
On Monday the ABC is launching its new campaign to highlight emergency broadcasting services ahead of the 2021/22 bushfire season and to reinforce the ABC’s role as a key source of information during extreme weather events.
Audiences will be reminded of the ABC’s role as an emergency broadcaster, the importance of ABC Local Radio stations and the support it provides to affected communities, emergency response organisations and community groups.
