On World Radio Day 2016, the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) celebrates radio technology as a vital means of security communications and essential source of information in humanitarian emergencies.
“In times of crisis and emergency, radio can be a lifeline,” said the United Nations Secretary-General in his World Radio Day message. “For people in shattered societies, or caught in catastrophe, or desperately seeking news, radio brings lifesaving information.
Radio can help in emergency response operations – and it can assist with rebuilding.”
