"Some people have argued that radio is a dying medium, but it’s only become more popular and will continue to be a powerful tool for community-based communications in and outside of humanitarian contexts." Leonard Doyle Director of Media and Communications, IOM |
Countries
First Response Radio has been working in many Asian countries over the past 10 years, training teams to respond to disasters by setting up radio stations using the unique 'radio-in-a-suitcase' equipment, broadcasting essential information to the affected communities quickly. It is anticipated that teams will soon be trained in other disaster prone areas of the world.

|
First Response Radio (FRR) is a network of radio broadcasters, NGOs and Government partners.
Our members have been working in disaster areas since the Tsunami of 2004, providing critical information via radio, as aid. Our goal is to set up a radio station for the affected community within 72 hours of a disaster. The best way to build this capacity is to equip & train teams before disaster strikes.
